Caparo T1

The Caparo T1 reaches 60 mph in 2.36 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 9.94 s, tripping the lights at 139.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.49 s and the eighth mile in 6.43 s, reaching 100 mph in 5.33 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the T1

The 2007 Caparo T1 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 575 kg with 575 bhp, which works out at 1,001 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 1,001 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.49 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 48th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent. Its 139.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Caparo T1 0-60 time?
The Caparo T1 reaches 60 mph in 2.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 48th quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Caparo T1 quarter mile time?
9.94 s at 139.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.43 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.49 s.
How much power does the Caparo T1 have?
575 bhp and 575 kg, which is 1,001 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 322 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Caparo T1?
Closest here on pace: Hennessey Venom GT (2.54 s), Koenigsegg One:1 (2.65 s), 9ff GT9 Vmax (2.64 s). Each one can be raced against the Caparo T1 in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Caparo T1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
