Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight

The Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight reaches 60 mph in 5.23 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.72 s, tripping the lights at 104.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s and the eighth mile in 8.95 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.57 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 Roadster V6 lightweight

The 2005 Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 943 kg with 245 bhp, which works out at 260 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 260 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.14 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,519th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 5 Morgans here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 104.8 mph, the 1,342nd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XK Convertible (5.37 s), Lotus Exige (5.32 s), Irmscher Seventy Seven 3.0 24V (4.92 s). Each one can be raced against the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight 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 Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
