Merkur XR4Ti

The Merkur XR4Ti reaches 60 mph in 7.53 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.69 s, tripping the lights at 90.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s and the eighth mile in 10.22 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 XR4Ti

The 1984 Merkur XR4Ti is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,338 kg with 170 bhp, which works out at 127 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 127 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.64 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,524th quickest to 60 mph. Its 90.2 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 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Merkur XR4Ti 0-60 time?
The Merkur XR4Ti reaches 60 mph in 7.53 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,524th quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Merkur XR4Ti quarter mile time?
15.69 s at 90.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s.
How much power does the Merkur XR4Ti have?
170 bhp and 1,338 kg, which is 127 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Merkur XR4Ti?
Closest here on pace: Abarth 500 (7.49 s), Abarth Grande Punto (7.45 s), Seat Leon 1.5 TSI 150 (Mk4) (7.61 s). Each one can be raced against the Merkur XR4Ti 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 Merkur XR4Ti is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
