Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190

The Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 reaches 60 mph in 7.18 s (100 km/h in 7.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.69 s, tripping the lights at 91.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.30 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 Merak 3.0 V6 190

The 1974 Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,553 kg with 188 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 121 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.72 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,995th quickest to 60 mph, and the 76th quickest of the 79 Maseratis here. Its 91.3 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 Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 0-60 time?
The Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 reaches 60 mph in 7.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,995th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 quarter mile time?
15.69 s at 91.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.30 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 have?
188 bhp and 1,553 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C207) E 200 184 (7.26 s), BMW 1 Series Coupe (E82) LCI 120d 177 Man (7.07 s), Morgan 4/4 2 seater 1.6l i4 (7.27 s). Each one can be raced against the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 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 Merak 3.0 V6 190 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.
