What is the MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) 0-60 time?
The MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.79 s at 82.5 mph.
What is the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45) 218i 136 (2021) 0-60 time?
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45) 218i 136 (2021) reaches 60 mph in 8.08 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.27 s at 85.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) trips the lights at 82.5 mph and the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45) 218i 136 (2021) at 85.1 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 MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) and 2 of 2 for the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45) 218i 136 (2021). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
