BMW M140i vs Ford Focus RS (2009)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M140i is the quicker car, covering it in 12.38 s at 111.0 mph against the Ford Focus RS (2009)’s 13.83 s — a margin of 1.45 s. To 60 mph the BMW M140i takes 3.90 s and the Ford Focus RS (2009) 5.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

What is the BMW M140i 0-60 time?
The BMW M140i reaches 60 mph in 3.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.38 s at 111.0 mph.
What is the Ford Focus RS (2009) 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus RS (2009) reaches 60 mph in 5.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.83 s at 102.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M140i trips the lights at 111.0 mph and the Ford Focus RS (2009) at 102.9 mph at the end of the quarter mile.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the BMW M140i and 9 of 10 for the Ford Focus RS (2009). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
