Citroen BX 1.9 105

The Citroen BX 1.9 105 reaches 60 mph in 9.10 s (100 km/h in 9.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.99 s, tripping the lights at 82.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 11.01 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the BX 1.9 105

The 1983 Citroen BX 1.9 105 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 992 kg with 103 bhp, which works out at 104 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,601st quickest to 60 mph, and the 64th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 82.5 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 2 of 2 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 Citroen BX 1.9 105 0-60 time?
The Citroen BX 1.9 105 reaches 60 mph in 9.10 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,601st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen BX 1.9 105 quarter mile time?
16.99 s at 82.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.01 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen BX 1.9 105 have?
103 bhp and 992 kg, which is 104 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen BX 1.9 105?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Swift 5dr 1.5 102 (9.10 s), Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.5 102 (9.10 s), Lancia Delta 1.6 107 (9.10 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen BX 1.9 105 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 Citroen BX 1.9 105 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 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.
