TVR Cerbera 4.2

The TVR Cerbera 4.2 reaches 60 mph in 3.61 s (100 km/h in 3.77 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.02 s, tripping the lights at 119.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.89 s and the eighth mile in 7.79 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.85 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 Cerbera 4.2

The 1996 TVR Cerbera 4.2 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,100 kg with 355 bhp, which works out at 323 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 323 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.89 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 731st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 12th quickest of the 32 TVRs here. Its 119.0 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 TVR Cerbera 4.2 0-60 time?
The TVR Cerbera 4.2 reaches 60 mph in 3.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 731st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the TVR Cerbera 4.2 quarter mile time?
12.02 s at 119.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.89 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the TVR Cerbera 4.2 have?
355 bhp and 1,100 kg, which is 323 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 296 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the TVR Cerbera 4.2?
Closest here on pace: Aston Martin Vanquish Mk II (3.64 s), Ruf RK Coupe (3.60 s), Wiesmann GT MF4-S (3.60 s). Each one can be raced against the TVR Cerbera 4.2 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 TVR Cerbera 4.2 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.
