What is the Subaru WRX Mk IV 0-60 time?

The Subaru WRX Mk IV reaches 60 mph in 5.29 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,464th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Subaru WRX Mk IV quarter mile time?

13.90 s at 98.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Subaru WRX Mk IV have?

268 bhp and 1,503 kg, which is 178 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 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 Subaru WRX Mk IV?

Closest here on pace: Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS (5.37 s), Audi S3 Sportback (5.25 s), Audi TT 3.2 quattro Mk II (5.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru WRX Mk IV 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 WRX Mk IV is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Subaru WRX Mk IV

The Subaru WRX Mk IV reaches 60 mph in 5.29 s (100 km/h in 5.59 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.90 s, tripping the lights at 98.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s and the eighth mile in 8.94 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 WRX Mk IV

The 2014 Subaru WRX Mk IV is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,503 kg with 268 bhp, which works out at 178 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.14 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 2,464th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 20th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 98.8 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 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.
