Lotus Emira 2.0 365 vs Ferrari 458 Italia

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ferrari 458 Italia is the quicker car, covering it in 10.97 s at 132.3 mph against the Lotus Emira 2.0 365’s 12.26 s — a margin of 1.29 s. To 60 mph the Ferrari 458 Italia takes 3.08 s and the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 3.93 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.

Questions

Is the Lotus Emira 2.0 365 or the Ferrari 458 Italia faster?
The Ferrari 458 Italia. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.97 s to the Lotus Emira 2.0 365's 12.26 s, a margin of 1.29 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.08 s against 3.93 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 Ferrari 458 Italia 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 458 Italia reaches 60 mph in 3.08 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.97 s at 132.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Lotus Emira 2.0 365 trips the lights at 116.2 mph and the Ferrari 458 Italia at 132.3 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 11 for the Ferrari 458 Italia. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
