TVR Griffith 500

The TVR Griffith 500 reaches 60 mph in 4.46 s (100 km/h in 4.68 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.76 s, tripping the lights at 109.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.94 s and the eighth mile in 8.21 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.59 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 500

The 2000 TVR Griffith 500 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,060 kg with 321 bhp, which works out at 302 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 302 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.94 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,611th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 25th quickest of the 32 TVRs here. Its 109.9 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the TVR Griffith 500 0-60 time?
The TVR Griffith 500 reaches 60 mph in 4.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,611th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the TVR Griffith 500 quarter mile time?
12.76 s at 109.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.21 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the TVR Griffith 500 have?
321 bhp and 1,060 kg, which is 302 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 271 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the TVR Griffith 500?
Closest here on pace: Brabus E V12 W210 (4.44 s), Brabus SL 7.3S R129 (4.43 s), Alfa Romeo 4C (4.41 s). Each one can be raced against the TVR Griffith 500 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 500 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
