Mazda 6 MPS

The Mazda 6 MPS reaches 60 mph in 5.43 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.04 s, tripping the lights at 97.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s and the eighth mile in 9.02 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 6 MPS

The 2006 Mazda 6 MPS is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,616 kg with 256 bhp, which works out at 158 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.15 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,631st quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 30 Mazdas here. It leaves better than it pulls: 97.7 mph at the lights is only the 1,916th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mazda 6 MPS 0-60 time?
The Mazda 6 MPS reaches 60 mph in 5.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,631st quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda 6 MPS quarter mile time?
14.04 s at 97.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.02 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s.
How much power does the Mazda 6 MPS have?
256 bhp and 1,616 kg, which is 158 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Mazda 6 MPS?
Closest here on pace: BMW 328i F30 (5.49 s), Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi (5.60 s), Jaguar F-Pace 3.0 S (5.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda 6 MPS in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Mazda 6 MPS 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.
