Toyota MR2 GT

The Toyota MR2 GT reaches 60 mph in 5.95 s (100 km/h in 6.28 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.63 s, tripping the lights at 94.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s and the eighth mile in 9.44 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 GT

The 1989 Toyota MR2 GT is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,280 kg with 221 bhp, which works out at 173 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 173 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.34 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,192nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 17th quickest of the 311 Toyotas here. Its 94.1 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 9 of 9 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 MR2 GT 0-60 time?
The Toyota MR2 GT reaches 60 mph in 5.95 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,192nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Toyota MR2 GT quarter mile time?
14.63 s at 94.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Toyota MR2 GT have?
221 bhp and 1,280 kg, which is 173 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 234 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Toyota MR2 GT?
Closest here on pace: Alpine A110 Berlinette 1.3 110 (5.87 s), Ferrari 250 GT 3.0 V12 250 (6.03 s), Caterham Classic 1.4 105 (5.88 s). Each one can be raced against the Toyota MR2 GT 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 GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
