Rover 220 Coupe Turbo

The Rover 220 Coupe Turbo reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.83 s, tripping the lights at 98.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s and the eighth mile in 9.81 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 220 Coupe Turbo

The 1992 Rover 220 Coupe Turbo is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,190 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 166 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.60 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 2,161st quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 4 Rovers here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 98.3 mph, the 1,868th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (6.42 s), Toyota GT86 (6.39 s), Subaru BRZ (6.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Rover 220 Coupe Turbo 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 Rover 220 Coupe Turbo is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 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.
