Maserati Bora 4.9

The Maserati Bora 4.9 reaches 60 mph in 6.01 s (100 km/h in 6.28 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.32 s, tripping the lights at 103.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s and the eighth mile in 9.48 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.41 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 Bora 4.9

The 1974 Maserati Bora 4.9 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,830 kg with 330 bhp, which works out at 180 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 180 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 3,268th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 65th quickest of the 79 Maseratis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 103.8 mph, the 2,103rd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 5 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 Bora 4.9 0-60 time?
The Maserati Bora 4.9 reaches 60 mph in 6.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,268th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maserati Bora 4.9 quarter mile time?
14.32 s at 103.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.48 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 Bora 4.9 have?
330 bhp and 1,830 kg, which is 180 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 271 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Maserati Bora 4.9?
Closest here on pace: Lexus LS 600H L (6.03 s), Infiniti Q70 3.0d V6 235 (6.05 s), Bristol Blenheim 3 5.9 V8 350 (6.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Maserati Bora 4.9 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 Bora 4.9 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 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.
