Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138

The Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 reaches 60 mph in 7.27 s (100 km/h in 7.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.71 s, tripping the lights at 89.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.22 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 MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138

The 2002 Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 965 kg with 137 bhp, which works out at 142 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 142 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.49 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,115th quickest to 60 mph, and the 42nd quickest of the 311 Toyotas here. Its 89.5 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 Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 0-60 time?
The Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 reaches 60 mph in 7.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,115th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 quarter mile time?
15.71 s at 89.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 have?
137 bhp and 965 kg, which is 142 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138?
Closest here on pace: Morgan 4/4 2 seater 1.6l i4 (7.27 s), Morgan Plus 4 4 seater 2.0l i4 (7.24 s), BMW M3 E30 (7.20 s). Each one can be raced against the Toyota MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 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 MR2 1.8 VVT-i 138 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.
