MG Montego EFi

The MG Montego EFi reaches 60 mph in 9.09 s (100 km/h in 9.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.96 s, tripping the lights at 84.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s and the eighth mile in 11.11 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 Montego EFi

The 1984 MG Montego EFi is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,215 kg with 117 bhp, which works out at 96 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.87 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 8,569th quickest to 60 mph, and the 39th quickest of the 61 MGs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.8 mph, the 7,386th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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 Montego EFi 0-60 time?
The MG Montego EFi reaches 60 mph in 9.09 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,569th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG Montego EFi quarter mile time?
16.96 s at 84.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.11 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG Montego EFi have?
117 bhp and 1,215 kg, which is 96 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 187 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG Montego EFi?
Closest here on pace: Kia Pro cee'd 2.0 CRDi 140 (9.10 s), Fiat Palio Weekend 1.6 16v 115 (9.10 s), Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 (9.11 s). Each one can be raced against the MG Montego EFi 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 Montego EFi 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.
