MG TF 1.6 (116 hp)

The MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s (100 km/h in 9.44 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.84 s, tripping the lights at 83.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 10.94 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 TF 1.6 (116 hp)

The 2002 MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,095 kg with 114 bhp, which works out at 104 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 104 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.82 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,315th quickest to 60 mph, and the 35th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 83.7 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 1 of 1 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) 0-60 time?
The MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,315th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) quarter mile time?
16.84 s at 83.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) have?
114 bhp and 1,095 kg, which is 104 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG TF 1.6 (116 hp)?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Beta Spider 2.0 115 (8.92 s), MINI Convertible Cooper 1.6 115 (8.93 s), Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 108 (8.91 s). Each one can be raced against the MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) 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 MG TF 1.6 (116 hp) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 1 of its 1 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
