Palmer Jaguar JP1

The Palmer Jaguar JP1 reaches 60 mph in 3.29 s (100 km/h in 3.40 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.26 s, tripping the lights at 128.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.80 s and the eighth mile in 7.41 s, reaching 100 mph in 7.17 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 JP1

The 2005 Palmer Jaguar JP1 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 675 kg with 249 bhp, which works out at 370 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 370 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.80 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 463rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent. Its 128.9 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 5 of 6 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Palmer Jaguar JP1 0-60 time?
The Palmer Jaguar JP1 reaches 60 mph in 3.29 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 463rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Palmer Jaguar JP1 quarter mile time?
11.26 s at 128.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Palmer Jaguar JP1 have?
249 bhp and 675 kg, which is 370 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 290 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Palmer Jaguar JP1?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (3.29 s), Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE (3.31 s), Ferrari FF (3.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Palmer Jaguar JP1 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 Palmer Jaguar JP1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 6 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
