MINI Convertible One 1.6 98

The MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 reaches 60 mph in 11.83 s (100 km/h in 12.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.60 s, tripping the lights at 74.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.99 s and the eighth mile in 11.98 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 One 1.6 98

The 2009 MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 is a front-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,175 kg with 97 bhp, which works out at 82 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.99 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 12,666th quickest to 60 mph, and the 116th quickest of the 122 MINIs here. Its 74.3 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 0-60 time?
The MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 reaches 60 mph in 11.83 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,666th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 quarter mile time?
18.60 s at 74.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 have?
97 bhp and 1,175 kg, which is 82 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 174 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Convertible One 1.6 98?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Swift Cabrio 1.3 68 (11.82 s), Suzuki Vitara Cabrio 1.6 16V 97 (11.76 s), Proton Iriz 1.3 CVT 95 (11.77 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Convertible One 1.6 98 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 One 1.6 98 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.
