MG ZS 4dr 120

The MG ZS 4dr 120 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s (100 km/h in 9.33 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.74 s, tripping the lights at 84.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 10.90 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 ZS 4dr 120

The 2004 MG ZS 4dr 120 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,105 kg with 119 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 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 8,106th quickest to 60 mph, and the 32nd quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 84.2 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MG ZS 4dr 120 0-60 time?
The MG ZS 4dr 120 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,106th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG ZS 4dr 120 quarter mile time?
16.74 s at 84.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG ZS 4dr 120 have?
119 bhp and 1,105 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 196 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG ZS 4dr 120?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Galant Hatchback 2.0i 137 (8.84 s), Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 (8.84 s), Fiat Argo 1.8 E-Torq 132 (8.83 s). Each one can be raced against the MG ZS 4dr 120 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 ZS 4dr 120 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
