MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63

The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 reaches 60 mph in 12.52 s (100 km/h in 13.37 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.10 s, tripping the lights at 71.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.26 s and the eighth mile in 12.38 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 Hatch Cooper 1.3 63

The 1997 MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 670 kg with 62 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.26 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 13,272nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 121st quickest of the 122 MINIs here. Its 71.5 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.

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 Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 0-60 time?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 reaches 60 mph in 12.52 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,272nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 quarter mile time?
19.10 s at 71.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.26 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 have?
62 bhp and 670 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 143 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Space Star 1.0 MIVEC 71 (12.40 s), Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) (12.52 s), Peugeot 107 5dr 1.0 68 (12.39 s). Each one can be raced against the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 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 Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 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.
