The 0–60 time was 6.7 seconds, which is still good for today’s cars. With its 240 km/h top speed and quarter mile in 15.1 seconds (at about 104 mph), the Grand National must have been a force to be reckoned with on America’s roads.

It has more than enough torque to get it off the line, and although it may not go very fast, the power is perfectly fine at high speeds. The car itself weighs in at 1791 kg (3188 lbs), which isn’t bad for a new car with all of its safety features.
