This one is good as well. A little more detailed as it takes the driven wheels into account:

The calculator has no way of knowing that your car is the fastest and most powerful 335d ever made and that it is quicker in a straight line than a Porsche Cayman S (provided the Porsche driver was blind and physically restrained in such a way that he was unable to change gear).

The one I posted is actually amazingly accurate, given the simplicity of the data.

I can see the merit really if you want to compare cars or consider the possible impact of tuning.

If you have a look around the site they have a list of derived performance data, which really does reflect relative performance quite well for petrol engines.

It does fall down when it comes to diesels though, because the power delivery is obviously not the same as it is for a petrol engine.

I would like to see that happen, in reality it would not have the traction to achieve a 2.7 0-60..
even with that power to weight ratio.. and being a TVR would probably break down half way up he strip... Joke.


Thats the thing with these ''calculators''.


One hell of a quick car tho. Wonder from 70-170 what would win, remember the veyron has PILES more torque than the speed 12 also. Even if it has less P2W
