About the Roadsport 1.6 127

The 2007 Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 550 kg with 125 bhp, which works out at 227 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 227 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.10 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,509th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 12th quickest of the 14 Caterhams here. It leaves better than it pulls: 93.9 mph at the lights is only the 3,992nd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127 0-60 time?
The Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127 reaches 60 mph in 5.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,509th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127 quarter mile time?
14.08 s at 93.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.97 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.10 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127 have?
125 bhp and 550 kg, which is 227 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127?
Closest here on pace: Donkervoort D8 1.8 Turbo 150 (5.33 s), Donkervoort D8 1.8 Zetec 140 (5.43 s), Infiniti G37 Coupe (5.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Caterham Roadsport 1.6 127 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 Roadsport 1.6 127 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
