Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport

The Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport reaches 60 mph in 5.66 s (100 km/h in 5.93 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.15 s, tripping the lights at 98.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 9.12 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 7 1.4 Supersport

The 1993 Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 580 kg with 130 bhp, which works out at 224 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 224 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.23 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,854th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 13th quickest of the 14 Caterhams here. Its 98.0 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 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport 0-60 time?
The Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport reaches 60 mph in 5.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,854th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport quarter mile time?
14.15 s at 98.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport have?
130 bhp and 580 kg, which is 224 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 194 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport?
Closest here on pace: Morgan Plus 8 4.6 MK I (5.66 s), Lamborghini Urraco P300 V8 265 (5.64 s), Ferrari 328 GTS (5.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 Caterham 7 1.4 Supersport is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
