About the Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192

The 2010 Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 870 kg with 189 bhp, which works out at 217 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 217 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.07 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,058th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 41st quickest of the 66 Lotuss here. Its 106.3 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 0-60 time?
The Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 reaches 60 mph in 4.89 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,058th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 quarter mile time?
13.26 s at 106.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 have?
189 bhp and 870 kg, which is 217 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 241 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192?
Closest here on pace: Alpina B7s Turbo Coupe (4.84 s), Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 (4.84 s), Nissan 370Z Coupe 3.7 V6 333 (4.79 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 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 Elise Series 3 1.8 R 192 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
