Panther Solo

The Panther Solo reaches 60 mph in 6.28 s (100 km/h in 6.66 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.95 s, tripping the lights at 92.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.37 s and the eighth mile in 9.61 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 Solo

The 1990 Panther Solo is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,100 kg with 204 bhp, which works out at 185 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 185 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.37 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,601st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter. Its 92.6 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 9 of 9 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.

Questions

What is the Panther Solo 0-60 time?
The Panther Solo reaches 60 mph in 6.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,601st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Panther Solo quarter mile time?
14.95 s at 92.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.61 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.37 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Panther Solo have?
204 bhp and 1,100 kg, which is 185 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Panther Solo?
Closest here on pace: Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 (6.34 s), Iso Rivolta Lele 300 (6.33 s), Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo (6.24 s). Each one can be raced against the Panther Solo 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 Panther Solo is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
