Marcos LM500

The Marcos LM500 reaches 60 mph in 4.17 s (100 km/h in 4.42 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.92 s, tripping the lights at 105.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s and the eighth mile in 8.22 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.52 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 LM500

The 2015 Marcos LM500 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,103 kg with 321 bhp, which works out at 291 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 291 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.93 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,263rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 3rd quickest of the 4 Marcoss here. Its 105.1 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 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 Marcos LM500 0-60 time?
The Marcos LM500 reaches 60 mph in 4.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,263rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Marcos LM500 quarter mile time?
12.92 s at 105.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Marcos LM500 have?
321 bhp and 1,103 kg, which is 291 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 268 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Marcos LM500?
Closest here on pace: Ruf 3600S (4.17 s), Shelby Cobra 260 S/C CSX2000 (4.23 s), Ruf RGT (2001) (4.09 s). Each one can be raced against the Marcos LM500 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 Marcos LM500 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.
