MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 vs Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 is the quicker car, covering it in 14.00 s at 95.8 mph against the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136’s 15.52 s — a margin of 1.52 s. To 60 mph the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 takes 5.17 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.

Questions

Is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 or the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 faster?
The Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.00 s to the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136's 15.52 s, a margin of 1.52 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.17 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 Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 reaches 60 mph in 5.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.00 s at 95.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 trips the lights at 89.8 mph and the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400 at 95.8 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 2 of 2 for the Land Rover Defender 90 3.0 400. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
