Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265

The Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 reaches 60 mph in 6.26 s (100 km/h in 6.59 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.65 s, tripping the lights at 96.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s and the eighth mile in 9.47 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 Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265

The 2003 Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,490 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 162 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.30 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,581st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 37th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 96.8 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 0-60 time?
The Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 reaches 60 mph in 6.26 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,581st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 quarter mile time?
14.65 s at 96.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 have?
241 bhp and 1,490 kg, which is 162 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 243 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265?
Closest here on pace: Lexus LS 400 V8 284 (6.26 s), Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo Aero 224 (6.24 s), Bentley Continental R (6.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 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 Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
