TVR Griffith 4.3

The TVR Griffith 4.3 reaches 60 mph in 4.95 s (100 km/h in 5.16 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.35 s, tripping the lights at 107.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.27 s and the eighth mile in 8.76 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.13 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 Griffith 4.3

The 1992 TVR Griffith 4.3 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,050 kg with 280 bhp, which works out at 267 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 267 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.27 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,115th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 28th quickest of the 32 TVRs here. Its 107.0 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 7 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the TVR Griffith 4.3 0-60 time?
The TVR Griffith 4.3 reaches 60 mph in 4.95 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,115th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the TVR Griffith 4.3 quarter mile time?
13.35 s at 107.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.76 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.27 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the TVR Griffith 4.3 have?
280 bhp and 1,050 kg, which is 267 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 254 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the TVR Griffith 4.3?
Closest here on pace: De Tomaso Mangusta (4.98 s), Maserati Shamal (4.93 s), Shelby GT500 K.R. (4.78 s). Each one can be raced against the TVR Griffith 4.3 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 Griffith 4.3 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
