The 2013 MINI Paceman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,495 kg with 215 bhp, which works out at 144 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.46 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 3,535th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 17th quickest of the 122 MINIs here. Its 97.5 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.
