MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 vs Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III is the quicker car,
covering it in 10.80 s at
131.8 mph against the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136’s
15.52 s — a margin of
4.72 s. To 60 mph the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III takes
2.96 s and the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136
7.01 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.

11/11 for the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 or the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III faster?
The Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.80 s to the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136's 15.52 s, a margin of 4.72 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.96 s against 7.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 0-60 time?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.52 s at 89.8 mph.
What is the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III reaches 60 mph in 2.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.80 s at 131.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 trips the lights at 89.8 mph and the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III at 131.8 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 Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 and 11 of 11 for the Aston Martin Vanquish Mk III. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
