TVR S2

The TVR S2 reaches 60 mph in 6.35 s (100 km/h in 7.21 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.15 s, tripping the lights at 92.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 9.80 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 S2

The 1986 TVR S2 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 989 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 169 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 169 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.49 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,698th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 30th quickest of the 32 TVRs here. Its 92.0 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the TVR S2 0-60 time?
The TVR S2 reaches 60 mph in 6.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,698th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the TVR S2 quarter mile time?
15.15 s at 92.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.80 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the TVR S2 have?
168 bhp and 989 kg, which is 169 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the TVR S2?
Closest here on pace: Fisker Karma (6.41 s), Acura RLX 3.5 V6 377 (6.36 s), Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 (6.33 s). Each one can be raced against the TVR S2 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 S2 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
