Toyota Crown 2.8 145

The Toyota Crown 2.8 145 reaches 60 mph in 10.19 s (100 km/h in 10.72 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.95 s, tripping the lights at 83.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.18 s and the eighth mile in 11.99 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 Crown 2.8 145

The 1979 Toyota Crown 2.8 145 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,442 kg with 143 bhp, which works out at 100 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.18 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 10,492nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 163rd quickest of the 311 Toyotas here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.1 mph, the 8,287th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 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 Toyota Crown 2.8 145 0-60 time?
The Toyota Crown 2.8 145 reaches 60 mph in 10.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,492nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Toyota Crown 2.8 145 quarter mile time?
17.95 s at 83.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.18 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Toyota Crown 2.8 145 have?
143 bhp and 1,442 kg, which is 100 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Toyota Crown 2.8 145?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler 300C 2.7 V6 190 (10.22 s), Honda Accord Aerodeck 2.2 145 (10.10 s), Chevrolet Malibu Sedan 2.2 145 (10.04 s). Each one can be raced against the Toyota Crown 2.8 145 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 Toyota Crown 2.8 145 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
