Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight

The Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight reaches 60 mph in 5.23 s (100 km/h in 5.45 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,391st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 8th quickest of the 13 Morgans here. Its 104.8 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 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight 0-60 time?
The Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight reaches 60 mph in 5.23 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,391st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight quarter mile time?
13.72 s at 104.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.95 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight have?
245 bhp and 943 kg, which is 260 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight?
Closest here on pace: Lotus Exige Mk I (5.09 s), Jaguar XK Convertible (2009) (5.37 s), Ferrari 456M GT (5.17 s). Each one can be raced against the Morgan Roadster V6 lightweight 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 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.
