TVR Cerbera 4.2

The TVR Cerbera 4.2 reaches 60 mph in 3.61 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 565th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 4th quickest of the 14 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.

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.
