MG Maestro Turbo

The MG Maestro Turbo reaches 60 mph in 6.31 s (100 km/h in 7.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.02 s, tripping the lights at 95.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s and the eighth mile in 9.80 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 Maestro Turbo

The 1988 MG Maestro Turbo is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,087 kg with 150 bhp, which works out at 138 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.51 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,624th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 8th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 95.2 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 7 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 MG Maestro Turbo 0-60 time?
The MG Maestro Turbo reaches 60 mph in 6.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,624th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG Maestro Turbo quarter mile time?
15.02 s at 95.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.80 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG Maestro Turbo have?
150 bhp and 1,087 kg, which is 138 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG Maestro Turbo?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse (6.25 s), Alpina B10 3.0 Allrad (6.28 s), MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 (6.25 s). Each one can be raced against the MG Maestro Turbo 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 MG Maestro Turbo is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 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.
