Westfield S-EIGHT

The Westfield S-EIGHT reaches 60 mph in 4.03 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.21 s, tripping the lights at 118.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s and the eighth mile in 8.02 s, reaching 100 mph 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the S-EIGHT

The 1992 Westfield S-EIGHT is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 622 kg with 270 bhp, which works out at 433 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 433 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.01 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 811th quickest to 60 mph. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 118.3 mph, the 592nd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 5 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 Westfield S-EIGHT 0-60 time?
The Westfield S-EIGHT reaches 60 mph in 4.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 811th quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.

12.21 s at 118.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.02 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s.
How much power does the Westfield S-EIGHT have?
270 bhp and 622 kg, which is 433 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Westfield S-EIGHT?
Closest here on pace: Ariel Atom 2 (4.07 s), Caterham R400 Superlight (3.70 s), Donkervoort D8 180R (4.23 s). Each one can be raced against the Westfield S-EIGHT in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Westfield S-EIGHT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
