MG ZR 160

The MG ZR 160 reaches 60 mph in 7.50 s (100 km/h in 7.89 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.90 s, tripping the lights at 90.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 10.44 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 ZR 160

The 2015 MG ZR 160 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,090 kg with 157 bhp, which works out at 144 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.69 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 5,556th quickest to 60 mph, and the 20th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 90.3 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 10 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 ZR 160 0-60 time?
The MG ZR 160 reaches 60 mph in 7.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,556th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG ZR 160 quarter mile time?
15.90 s at 90.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG ZR 160 have?
157 bhp and 1,090 kg, which is 144 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 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 ZR 160?
Closest here on pace: Lexus IS 300 215 (7.47 s), Ford Fiesta (7.58 s), Holden Astra 5dr 1.9 CDTI 150 (7.51 s). Each one can be raced against the MG ZR 160 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 ZR 160 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.
