Lotus 340R

The Lotus 340R reaches 60 mph in 5.14 s (100 km/h in 5.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.69 s, tripping the lights at 103.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 8.91 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.64 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 340R

The 2000 Lotus 340R is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 675 kg with 177 bhp, which works out at 262 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 262 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.13 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,294th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 46th quickest of the 66 Lotuss here. Its 103.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Lotus 340R 0-60 time?
The Lotus 340R reaches 60 mph in 5.14 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,294th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lotus 340R quarter mile time?
13.69 s at 103.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lotus 340R have?
177 bhp and 675 kg, which is 262 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 213 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lotus 340R?
Closest here on pace: Honda Civic Type R (FK8) (5.13 s), Alpina B7s Turbo (5.12 s), Holden Commodore GTS-R VT II (5.23 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus 340R in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lotus 340R is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
