Oldsmobile Toronado

The Oldsmobile Toronado reaches 60 mph in 8.30 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.37 s, tripping the lights at 94.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.93 s and the eighth mile in 11.05 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 Toronado

The 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,111 kg with 385 bhp, which works out at 182 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.93 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,694th quickest to 60 mph. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 94.1 mph, the 2,221st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

16.37 s at 94.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.93 s.
How much power does the Oldsmobile Toronado have?
385 bhp and 2,111 kg, which is 182 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 217 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Oldsmobile Toronado?
Closest here on pace: Rover 3500 Vitesse SD1 (8.08 s), Jensen Healey MK I (8.40 s), Rover 827i Fastback (8.24 s). Each one can be raced against the Oldsmobile Toronado 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 Oldsmobile Toronado is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 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.
