Rover 827i Fastback

The Rover 827i Fastback reaches 60 mph in 8.24 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.48 s, tripping the lights at 88.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.93 s and the eighth mile in 10.95 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 827i Fastback

The 1988 Rover 827i Fastback is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,430 kg with 177 bhp, which works out at 124 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.93 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 2,681st quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 4 Rovers here. Its 88.9 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 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

How much power does the Rover 827i Fastback have?
177 bhp and 1,430 kg, which is 124 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 226 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Rover 827i Fastback?
Closest here on pace: De Lorean DMC-12 European spec (8.40 s), Toyota Corrola AE86 Levin (8.25 s), Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 (8.36 s). Each one can be raced against the Rover 827i Fastback 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 827i Fastback 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.
