Mazda RX-7 255 PS

The Mazda RX-7 255 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.22 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.81 s, tripping the lights at 101.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.22 s and the eighth mile in 8.92 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.35 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 RX-7 255 PS

The 1993 Mazda RX-7 255 PS is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,281 kg with 252 bhp, which works out at 197 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 197 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.22 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,515th quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 30 Mazdas here. Its 101.5 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 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Closest here on pace: Infiniti G35 Mk IV (5.23 s), Infiniti M35h (5.18 s), Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX (5.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda RX-7 255 PS 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 RX-7 255 PS 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
