 A Willys Hurricane-6 produced 90 bhp, which allowed the car to reach a top speed of just and go from 0 to in around 15 seconds.While this was faster than the inexpensive MG TF, it was slower than the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider and Triumph TR2.Compared to the larger-engined Corvette, Nash-Healey and Jaguar XK120, the Darrin was completely outclassed.
