Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210

The Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 reaches 60 mph in 7.02 s (100 km/h in 7.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.37 s, tripping the lights at 96.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s and the eighth mile in 10.17 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 SS 210

The 1974 Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,400 kg with 208 bhp, which works out at 148 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 148 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.73 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,703rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 74th quickest of the 79 Maseratis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 96.5 mph, the 3,359th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 0-60 time?
The Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 reaches 60 mph in 7.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,703rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 quarter mile time?
15.37 s at 96.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.17 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 have?
208 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 148 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210?
Closest here on pace: Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.4 ECOTEC 176 (6.91 s), Ferrari Mondial 3.2 3.2 V8 260 (6.92 s), Audi A5 Coupe 2.0 TDI 190 (7.00 s). Each one can be raced against the Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 SS 210 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 SS 210 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.
