Maserati Kyalami

The Maserati Kyalami reaches 60 mph in 7.43 s (100 km/h in 7.77 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.74 s, tripping the lights at 94.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s and the eighth mile in 10.45 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 Kyalami

The 1977 Maserati Kyalami is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,750 kg with 280 bhp, which works out at 160 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 160 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.80 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,423rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 77th quickest of the 79 Maseratis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 94.9 mph, the 3,757th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 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 Kyalami 0-60 time?
The Maserati Kyalami reaches 60 mph in 7.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,423rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maserati Kyalami quarter mile time?
15.74 s at 94.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.45 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maserati Kyalami have?
280 bhp and 1,750 kg, which is 160 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 Maserati Kyalami?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti I30/I35 3.5 V6 258 (7.47 s), Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 (7.55 s), Infiniti I30/I35 3.0 V6 227 (7.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Maserati Kyalami 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 Kyalami is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
