Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I reaches 60 mph in 5.88 s (100 km/h in 6.17 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.27 s, tripping the lights at 98.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 9.25 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 Phantom Mk I

The 2003 Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,485 kg with 453 bhp, which works out at 182 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 182 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.23 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,122nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 17th quickest of the 23 Rolls-Royces here. Its 98.2 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 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I 0-60 time?
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I reaches 60 mph in 5.88 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,122nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I quarter mile time?
14.27 s at 98.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I have?
453 bhp and 2,485 kg, which is 182 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Lexus LS 460 (5.84 s), Infiniti M Sedan 37 V6 334 (5.82 s), Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 (5.78 s). Each one can be raced against the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I 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 Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
