| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement (cm³) | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3 AT | 147 | 108 | not measured | 2300 | 92 | 4 | Inline | No | Automatic | 5 | RWD |
| 3.0 MT | 226 | 166 | 280 | 2967 | 95 | 6 | V-shaped | No | Manual | 5 | RWD |
2.3 AT engine detail: 147 hp (108 kW); power rpm is not measured; torque is not measured; 2300 cm³ Gasoline; 4 Inline cylinders; 2 valves per cylinder; boost No; Distributed injection (multi-point); compression ratio not measured; bore × stroke not measured; fuel 92.
3.0 MT engine detail: 226 hp (166 kW) at 6150 rpm; 280 Nm at 4900 rpm; 2967 cm³ Gasoline; 6 V-shaped cylinders; 4 valves per cylinder; boost No; Distributed injection (multi-point); compression ratio 10; bore × stroke 89 × 79.5; fuel 95.
3.0 MT has 79 hp more than 2.3 AT (226 − 147). Displacement is 667 cm³ larger on 3.0 MT (2967 − 2300). 3.0 MT lists 280 Nm; 2.3 AT torque is not measured, so a newton-metre gap cannot be calculated. 3.0 MT uses 6 cylinders in a V-shaped layout; 2.3 AT uses 4 cylinders in an Inline layout. Valves per cylinder are 4 on 3.0 MT and 2 on 2.3 AT. Gearbox type differs: Automatic on 2.3 AT, Manual on 3.0 MT. Both have 5 gears and RWD.
Performance, 0-100, top speed, mpg
Fuel consumption (city, highway, mixed) is not measured on 2.3 AT and not measured on 3.0 MT. CO2 is not measured on both versions. An mpg figure is not in the data for either version.
2.3 AT 0–100 km/h is not measured. 2.3 AT top speed is not measured.
3.0 MT 0–100 km/h is 5.7 s. 3.0 MT top speed is 220 km/h.
Because 2.3 AT has no 0–100 or top-speed figures, a numerical performance ranking is only possible where 3.0 MT supplies numbers: 5.7 s to 100 km/h and 220 km/h. Eco class on 2.3 AT is not measured. Eco class on 3.0 MT is Euro 4.
Dimensions, weight, tank, ground clearance
Wheel sizes are not measured on 2.3 AT and not measured on 3.0 MT. Ground clearance is not measured on both versions. Fuel tank is 47 litres on 2.3 AT and 47 litres on 3.0 MT.
2.3 AT kerb weight is not measured. 2.3 AT gross weight is not measured.
3.0 MT kerb weight is 1090 kg. 3.0 MT gross weight is 1300 kg. On 3.0 MT, the gap between gross and kerb weight is 210 kg (1300 − 1090).
Front suspension on 2.3 AT is Independent, spring; rear suspension on 2.3 AT is not measured. Front suspension on 3.0 MT is Independent, spring; rear suspension on 3.0 MT is Independent, spring.
Front brakes: Ventilated disc on 2.3 AT and Ventilated disc on 3.0 MT. Rear brakes: Disc on 2.3 AT and Disc on 3.0 MT.
Which Gordon Roadster version to choose
The catalogue has two Roadster versions from 1 generation, both from 1997-01-01, both Gasoline, both RWD, both 5 gears, both 47-litre tanks, both with boost No and Distributed injection (multi-point). Choice is between 2.3 AT and 3.0 MT on the numbers that exist.
Choose 2.3 AT if the requirement is Automatic, 4 Inline cylinders, 2 valves per cylinder, and fuel 92. Output is 147 hp (108 kW) from 2300 cm³. Torque, 0–100 km/h, top speed, consumption, CO2, eco class, kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, wheels, rear suspension, engine location, compression ratio, bore × stroke, and power rpm are not measured on 2.3 AT.
Choose 3.0 MT if the requirement is Manual, 6 V-shaped cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel 95, and the measured performance set: 226 hp (166 kW) at 6150 rpm, 280 Nm at 4900 rpm, 2967 cm³, compression ratio 10, bore × stroke 89 × 79.5, 0–100 km/h in 5.7 s, top speed 220 km/h, Euro 4, kerb 1090 kg, gross 1300 kg, Independent, spring at both ends. City, highway, and mixed consumption, CO2, ground clearance, wheels, and engine location are not measured on 3.0 MT.
On measured power, 3.0 MT is 79 hp and 58 kW above 2.3 AT (226 − 147 hp; 166 − 108 kW). On measured displacement, 3.0 MT is 667 cm³ larger. Gearbox is the other hard split: Automatic on 2.3 AT versus Manual on 3.0 MT. Drive does not split the pair: both are RWD. Tank does not split the pair: both are 47 litres. Body does not split the pair: both sit in the same Roadster generation.
Reliability and problems
The supplied data does not list reliability scores, common faults, recall counts, or service intervals. What can be stated without adding numbers is the specification split that usually drives different service items: 2.3 AT is Automatic with 4 Inline cylinders and 2 valves per cylinder; 3.0 MT is Manual with 6 V-shaped cylinders and 4 valves per cylinder. Fuel grade in the data is 92 on 2.3 AT and 95 on 3.0 MT. Eco class is Euro 4 on 3.0 MT and not measured on 2.3 AT. Consumption and CO2 remain not measured on both, so running-cost comparison from this catalogue is not available.
