Rover Vitesse SD1 3.5 V8 was c.190hp not sure of 0-60 but I'd guess 8/9 secs and top speed of 130-140mph

Rover Vitesse (Rover 800 shape) was a 2.5 or 2.7 V6 (Honda enlarged the CC of that particular engine in maybe 1987/1988 I think - same engine as the Honda legend of the same time) the 2.7 was 177hp, 0-60 about 8.5-9 secs and top speed was quoted at about 135mph

Thats from memory mind you, and it was a long time ago...
