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.
