About the Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285

The 2009 Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,510 kg with 282 bhp, which works out at 186 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.02 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 2,777th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 28th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 98.1 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 Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 0-60 time?
The Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 reaches 60 mph in 5.59 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,777th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 quarter mile time?
14.07 s at 98.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.02 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 have?
282 bhp and 1,510 kg, which is 186 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285?
Closest here on pace: VW Phaeton 6.0 W12 420 (5.54 s), Infiniti G37x (5.59 s), Infiniti M Sedan 37 V6 320 (5.62 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 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 Sedan B4 2.5 GT 285 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.
