Citroen C2 VTS

The Citroen C2 VTS reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s (100 km/h in 9.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.52 s, tripping the lights at 84.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s and the eighth mile in 10.67 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 C2 VTS

The 2004 Citroen C2 VTS is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,105 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 112 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.57 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 6,997th quickest to 60 mph, and the 33rd quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 84.0 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 Citroen C2 VTS 0-60 time?
The Citroen C2 VTS reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,997th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen C2 VTS quarter mile time?
16.52 s at 84.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.67 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen C2 VTS have?
123 bhp and 1,105 kg, which is 112 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 199 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen C2 VTS?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Delta 1.4 T-Jet 16V (8.32 s), DS Automobiles Citroen DS 3 Crossback 1.2 PureTech 131 (8.26 s), Opel Astra 5dr 2.0 CDTI 165 Auto (8.26 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen C2 VTS 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 C2 VTS 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.
