MINI Cooper

The MINI Cooper reaches 60 mph in 8.49 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.66 s, tripping the lights at 83.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 10.75 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Cooper

The 2006 MINI Cooper is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,040 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 113 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 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,732nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 23rd quickest of the 23 MINIs here. Its 83.2 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 9 of 9 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 MINI Cooper 0-60 time?
The MINI Cooper reaches 60 mph in 8.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,732nd quickest of the 2,939 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Cooper quarter mile time?
16.66 s at 83.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s.
How much power does the MINI Cooper have?
118 bhp and 1,040 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 203 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Cooper?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9-3 1.9 TTiD 180 SportCombi Mk II (8.48 s), MINI Cooper D (8.41 s), Renault Megane TCe 140 (Mk4) (8.49 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Cooper in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Cooper is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
