Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Lotus Emira 2.0 365,
2/2 for the BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374 —
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 BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374 faster?
The Lotus Emira 2.0 365. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.26 s to the BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374's 12.35 s, a margin of 0.09 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.93 s against 3.94 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 BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374 0-60 time?
The BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374 reaches 60 mph in 3.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.35 s at 111.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Lotus Emira 2.0 365 trips the lights at 116.2 mph and the BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374 at 111.2 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 2 of 2 for the BMW 3 Series Sedan (G20) LCI M340i xDrive 374. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
