Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84

The Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 reaches 60 mph in 6.49 s (100 km/h in 7.35 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.24 s, tripping the lights at 92.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s and the eighth mile in 9.89 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 Eclat S2 Type 84

The 1982 Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,051 kg with 160 bhp, which works out at 152 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 152 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.53 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,874th quickest to 60 mph, and the 58th quickest of the 66 Lotuss here. Its 92.1 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 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 0-60 time?
The Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 reaches 60 mph in 6.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,874th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 quarter mile time?
15.24 s at 92.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 have?
160 bhp and 1,051 kg, which is 152 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 211 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 279 (6.43 s), Mercury Milan 3.0 V6 Flex Fuel 250 (6.51 s), Acura RL (6.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus Eclat S2 Type 84 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 Eclat S2 Type 84 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
