Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 is the quicker car,
covering it in 12.26 s at
116.2 mph against the Alfa Romeo 4C’s
12.77 s — a margin of
0.51 s. To 60 mph the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 takes
3.93 s and the Alfa Romeo 4C
4.41 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Lotus Emira 2.0 365,
9/10 for the Alfa Romeo 4C —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 or the Alfa Romeo 4C faster?
The Lotus Emira 2.0 365. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.26 s to the Alfa Romeo 4C's 12.77 s, a margin of 0.51 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.93 s against 4.41 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 0-60 time?
The Lotus Emira 2.0 365 reaches 60 mph in 3.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.26 s at 116.2 mph.
What is the Alfa Romeo 4C 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 4C reaches 60 mph in 4.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.77 s at 106.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Lotus Emira 2.0 365 trips the lights at 116.2 mph and the Alfa Romeo 4C at 106.7 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 — 2 of 2 for the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 and 9 of 10 for the Alfa Romeo 4C. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
