Approx 24 metres.
Isn't it 15m. Aren't you using the final velocity rather than average/actual velocity? Not that it matters, it's bloody quick. Distance travelled = 30 (mph) x .447 (metres per second) x 2.2 seconds. This would be around 29 metres before the car hit 60 mph?
Probably a bit less as the average speed will be a bit higher than 30 since 0-30 takes less time than 30-60 but it's giving me a headache thinking about it. I should have gone to university....
Edit: I think it's:
60mph/2.2 seconds = 27 mph average = 12.2 metres per second for 2.2 seconds = 27m?

Sorry that's right. I was doing 0-30 MPH. Doh. Distance travelled = 30 (mph) x .447 (metres per second) x 2.2 seconds. This would be around 29 metres before the car hit 60 mph?

M/s at 60 is 27. Velocity is therefore 12 and distance using 1/2 at^2 = 30 ish m.

27m is about 6 car lengths. That cant be right can it?
Different car but see Dale's video posted this morning. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=...

has anyone seen the 918 ?
F**in HUGE, looks like a slab-sided blob, bus like
real shame IMO, just makes the CGT seem even more the real deal
Uh....i think you will find dimensions wise the cars are very similar......F**in HUGE, looks like a slab-sided blob, bus like

Wrong.
991: 4545 (L) x 1852 (W) x 1269 (H). 2457 wheelbase
918: 4643 (L) x 1940 (W) x 1167 (H). 2730 wheelbase
All measurements in mm.
thank you for correcting me A, I was going on visual memory point on the last time I drove the car, along with the 991GT3 and tts at the same time....991: 4545 (L) x 1852 (W) x 1269 (H). 2457 wheelbase
918: 4643 (L) x 1940 (W) x 1167 (H). 2730 wheelbase
All measurements in mm.

it seems we are both wrong.....I have the full tech manual..
918. L = 4645
W = 1940
H = 1167
I was quoting from the Porsche press release. The dimensions are the same as published in your 'tech manual' save and except for a 2mm difference in length. 918. L = 4645
W = 1940
H = 1167

The 918 is a metre longer than a 991 GT3 and almost a metre wider!

Thanks for the maths,the 918 is quick for sure,i was just wondering with all the weight,drag etc how quick.My old hillclimb car /racer has done 20 meters standing start in 1.92 secs,and is 40 year old technology or lack of!
Re the vid clip We had 4 turbos to play with on a wet day,each car done over 60 launch control starts in the day,very impressive and quicker than the cgt,or it felt so.
