Mazda RX-7

The Mazda RX-7 reaches 60 mph in 9.34 s (100 km/h in 9.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.09 s, tripping the lights at 83.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s and the eighth mile in 11.16 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the RX-7

The 1979 Mazda RX-7 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,064 kg with 101 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 95 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.92 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,007th quickest to 60 mph, and the 98th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 83.3 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 8 of 9 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 Mazda RX-7 0-60 time?
The Mazda RX-7 reaches 60 mph in 9.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,007th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda RX-7 quarter mile time?
17.09 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mazda RX-7 have?
101 bhp and 1,064 kg, which is 95 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mazda RX-7?
Closest here on pace: Lancia 2000 Coupe 2.0 125 (9.29 s), Peugeot 406 Coupe 2.2 HDi 136 (9.26 s), Peugeot 504 Coupe 2.7 V6 143 (9.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda RX-7 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 Mazda RX-7 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
