MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143

The MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 reaches 60 mph in 7.79 s (100 km/h in 8.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.12 s, tripping the lights at 85.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s and the eighth mile in 10.36 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 Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143

The 2009 MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 is a front-drive turbodiesel roadster of 1,240 kg with 141 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.50 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 6,107th quickest to 60 mph, and the 56th quickest of the 122 MINIs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 85.5 mph at the lights is only the 7,054th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 0-60 time?
The MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 reaches 60 mph in 7.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,107th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 quarter mile time?
16.12 s at 85.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.36 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 have?
141 bhp and 1,240 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 203 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143?
Closest here on pace: Renault Megane Coupe - Cabrio 2.0 16V Turbo 163 (7.88 s), Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor R171 (7.85 s), DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.2 PureTech Start and Stop 130 (7.69 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 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 MINI Convertible Cooper SD 2.0 143 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.
