Rover 220 Coupe Turbo

The Rover 220 Coupe Turbo reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s (100 km/h in 6.70 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,790th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 8 Rovers here. Its 98.3 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 7 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 Rover 220 Coupe Turbo 0-60 time?
The Rover 220 Coupe Turbo reaches 60 mph in 6.42 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,790th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Rover 220 Coupe Turbo quarter mile time?
14.83 s at 98.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.81 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Rover 220 Coupe Turbo have?
197 bhp and 1,190 kg, which is 166 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 242 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Rover 220 Coupe Turbo?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (2010) (6.42 s), Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (2006) (6.40 s), Toyota GT86 (6.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Rover 220 Coupe Turbo 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 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.
