Which version to buy (the short answer)
Buy 1.8 MT if you want a Speedster with a Gasoline engine, Manual 5-speed gearbox, and RWD, and you accept that fuel use, tank size, CO2, eco class, gross weight, ground clearance, and wheel sizes are not measured.

Do not look for a second TF 1800 in this dataset. pokoleniy is 1. modifikaciy is 1. The only exact name that will match a modification page is 1.8 MT.
What that name buys, in numbers that exist here:
- 115 hp (85 kW) at 5750 rpm from 1796 cm³
- 160 Nm at 4500 rpm
- 9.5 s to 100 km/h, 170 km/h top speed
- kerb weight 1100 kg
- No boost, Inline 4, 4 valves per cylinder, engine Front, transverse
- fuel grade 95, compression 10, bore × stroke 80.6 × 88
- feed: Distributed injection (multi-point)
- brakes: Ventilated disc front, Disc rear
- suspension: Independent, spring front and rear
There is no “extra money” version in the table: no automatic, no extra displacement, no second power figure under the same name.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation ran 1998-01-01 to 2001-12-31. Body: Speedster. Versions in that generation: 1.
There is no restyling row and no second generation to compare. You cannot pick a later TF 1800 for more power, a different body, or a different gearbox from this catalogue. The start and stop dates of 1 generation and of 1.8 MT are the same: 1998-01-01–2001-12-31. Production window and version window are identical.
Arithmetic on generations: 1 generation ÷ 1 version = one car, not a family of cars. Year-to-year change inside 1998–2001 is not measured.
Engine and specs: the only row
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement (cm³) | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8 MT | 115 | 160 | 1796 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | Manual | RWD |
Same row, rest of the powertrain as labelled:
- peak power rpm: 5750
- peak torque rpm: 4500
- kW: 85
- valves per cylinder: 4
- engine position: Front, transverse
- injection: Distributed injection (multi-point)
- compression: 10
- 80.6 × 88
- fuel: 95
- gears: 5
If two TF 1800s ever shared the name 1.8 MT, this catalogue would split them by horsepower. They do not: one 1.8 MT, 115 hp.
Ratios that decide the buy
These are arithmetic on the given numbers, not extra measurements:
- Power per litre: 115 ÷ (1796 / 1000) = 64.0 hp/L (115 ÷ 1.796 ≈ 64.03).
- Torque per litre: 160 ÷ 1.796 ≈ 89.1 Nm/L.
- kg per hp (kerb): 1100 ÷ 115 ≈ 9.57 kg/hp.
- hp per tonne (kerb): 115 ÷ 1.100 ≈ 104.5 hp/t.
- Nm per tonne (kerb): 160 ÷ 1.100 ≈ 145.5 Nm/t.
- kW vs hp check: 85 kW × 1.3596 is not in the data; the data already pairs 115 hp with 85 kW — use those two figures as given, not a third conversion.
- Specific speed of the peak: power peaks at 5750 rpm, torque at 4500 rpm. The gap is 1250 rpm (5750 − 4500). Peak twist arrives 1250 rpm before peak power.
- Displacement vs name: the badge is 1.8 MT; the measured volume is 1796 cm³, 4 cm³ under 1800.
No boost is the forced-induction label. There is no turbo or supercharged sister to trade up to.
RWD with a Front, transverse engine is the layout in the row. There is no FWD or AWD 1.8 MT in the data to prefer for weather or simplicity.
Manual 5 is the only gearbox. There is no automatic TF 1800 here, so “which gearbox” is not a choice.
Performance and economy: what is measured, what is not
1.8 MT acceleration: 9.5 s to 100 km/h. 1.8 MT top speed: 170 km/h.
Economy:
- city consumption: not measured
- highway consumption: not measured
- combined consumption: not measured
- CO2: not measured
- eco class: not measured
You cannot rank 1.8 MT on mpg against another TF 1800 because there is no second version and no litre/100 km (or mpg) figure at all. A missing consumption number is not “this car uses no fuel”; it is not measured.
Speed arithmetic that stays inside the data:
- 170 km/h is the cap; 9.5 s is the 0–100 time.
- Average acceleration implied by 0–100 in 9.5 s: 100 ÷ 9.5 ≈ 10.53 km/h per second over that interval (a ratio of two given numbers, not a lab test).
- Mass that has to be moved: 1100 kg kerb. Gross mass is not measured, so you cannot compute a loaded 0–100.
If 9.5 s and 170 km/h are enough for a Speedster of this mass, 1.8 MT is the version. If you wanted a quicker or faster TF 1800 from this list, there is no other row.
Dimensions and weight: what you can and cannot compare
| Item | 1.8 MT |
|---|---|
| Kerb weight | 1100 kg |
| Gross weight | not measured |
| Ground clearance | not measured |
| Fuel tank | not measured |
| Wheels | not measured |
Payload = gross − kerb cannot be calculated: gross is not measured. Range cannot be calculated: tank and consumption are not measured. Ride height and tyre size cannot be compared across versions: wheels and clearance are not measured, and there is only one version.
What you can use: 1100 kg kerb against 115 hp and 160 Nm, as above (~9.57 kg/hp, ~104.5 hp/t).
Chassis labels that come with that mass:
- front suspension Independent, spring
- rear suspension Independent, spring
- front brakes Ventilated disc
- rear brakes Disc
Front and rear spring type match (both Independent, spring). Front discs are ventilated; rear are labelled Disc. There is no second brake package in the data.
Which version to choose: decision using only these numbers
1. Name: the catalogue version to specify is 1.8 MT. Not a paraphrase, not “1.8 manual” as a different SKU.
2. Body and years: Speedster, 1 generation, 1998-01-01 to 2001-12-31. If you need a closed body, another generation, or a year outside that window, this model line as given does not supply it.
3. Powertrain fit:
- Gasoline, fuel 95, compression 10, Distributed injection (multi-point)
- Inline 4, 4 valves per cylinder, 1796 cm³, No boost
- Front, transverse, RWD, Manual 5
4. Performance fit: 9.5 s / 170 km/h at 1100 kg. Specific output ~64.0 hp/L. If you were comparing two petrol 1.8s, that litre-output and the 9.57 kg/hp figure would be the tie-breakers; here they describe the only car.
5. What extra money cannot buy in this table: more hp, more Nm, another gearbox, another drive type, a restyle, a second generation, measured mpg, a measured tank, measured wheels, or a measured clearance. Those fields are either a single value or not measured.
6. Reliability / problems: not in the data. Do not infer failure rates from 115 hp, 160 Nm, or 1100 kg.
7. Practical buy rule: if Speedster + 1.8 MT + RWD + Manual 5 + 115 hp / 160 Nm + 9.5 s / 170 km/h + 1100 kg is the car you want, this is the version. If you need a number that is not measured (mpg, tank, CO2, eco class, gross weight, clearance, wheels) before you buy, this dataset cannot close that gap.
