MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) vs Lexus NX 300 235

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Lexus NX 300 235 is the quicker car, covering it in 14.91 s at 89.8 mph against the MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021)’s 16.79 s — a margin of 1.88 s. To 60 mph the Lexus NX 300 235 takes 6.22 s and the MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) 8.76 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 MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021) or the Lexus NX 300 235 faster?
The Lexus NX 300 235. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.91 s to the MINI Countryman Cooper 1.5 136 (2021)'s 16.79 s, a margin of 1.88 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s against 8.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 Lexus NX 300 235 0-60 time?
The Lexus NX 300 235 reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.91 s at 89.8 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 Lexus NX 300 235 at 89.8 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 Lexus NX 300 235. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
