MG ZT 260

The MG ZT 260 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s (100 km/h in 6.69 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.80 s, tripping the lights at 95.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.45 s and the eighth mile in 9.60 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 ZT 260

The 2005 MG ZT 260 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,774 kg with 256 bhp, which works out at 144 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 144 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.45 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,652nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 9th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 95.9 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 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MG ZT 260 0-60 time?
The MG ZT 260 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,652nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG ZT 260 quarter mile time?
14.80 s at 95.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG ZT 260 have?
256 bhp and 1,774 kg, which is 144 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG ZT 260?
Closest here on pace: Rover 600 620ti 2.0 Turbo (6.32 s), Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 253 (6.34 s), Lexus IS 2.0 241 (6.41 s). Each one can be raced against the MG ZT 260 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 ZT 260 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
