Maserati Shamal

The Maserati Shamal reaches 60 mph in 4.93 s (100 km/h in 5.17 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.42 s, tripping the lights at 105.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s and the eighth mile in 8.70 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.04 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 Shamal

The 1989 Maserati Shamal is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,417 kg with 322 bhp, which works out at 227 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 227 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.19 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,090th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 50th quickest of the 79 Maseratis here. Its 105.3 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 9 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 Shamal 0-60 time?
The Maserati Shamal reaches 60 mph in 4.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,090th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maserati Shamal quarter mile time?
13.42 s at 105.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.70 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maserati Shamal have?
322 bhp and 1,417 kg, which is 227 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, 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 Shamal?
Closest here on pace: Subaru Impreza Turbo STI PPP (4.92 s), Panoz Esperante (4.93 s), Honda Civic Type R FK2 (4.98 s). Each one can be raced against the Maserati Shamal 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 Shamal is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
