Maserati 5000 GT

The Maserati 5000 GT reaches 60 mph in 6.03 s (100 km/h in 6.30 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.37 s, tripping the lights at 103.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s and the eighth mile in 9.49 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.60 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 5000 GT

The 1959 Maserati 5000 GT is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,652 kg with 325 bhp, which works out at 196 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 196 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.55 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,284th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 66th quickest of the 79 Maseratis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 103.1 mph, the 2,210th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 6 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 Maserati 5000 GT 0-60 time?
The Maserati 5000 GT reaches 60 mph in 6.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,284th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maserati 5000 GT quarter mile time?
14.37 s at 103.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.49 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maserati 5000 GT have?
325 bhp and 1,652 kg, which is 196 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 270 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Maserati 5000 GT?
Closest here on pace: Toyota GR86 (6.01 s), Aston Martin V8 Vantage (5.97 s), Ferrari 250 GT 3.0 V12 250 (6.03 s). Each one can be raced against the Maserati 5000 GT 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 Maserati 5000 GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 6 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.
