Citroen C3 1.1 60

The Citroen C3 1.1 60 reaches 60 mph in 14.37 s (100 km/h in 16.01 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.18 s, tripping the lights at 69.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.42 s and the eighth mile in 13.08 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 C3 1.1 60

The 2009 Citroen C3 1.1 60 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,010 kg with 59 bhp, which works out at 58 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.42 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 14,233rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 335th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 69.5 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.

Questions

What is the Citroen C3 1.1 60 0-60 time?
The Citroen C3 1.1 60 reaches 60 mph in 14.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,233rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen C3 1.1 60 quarter mile time?
20.18 s at 69.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen C3 1.1 60 have?
59 bhp and 1,010 kg, which is 58 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 154 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen C3 1.1 60?
Closest here on pace: VW Cross Up! 1.0 75 (14.45 s), Lada Samara 4dr 1.3 65 (14.57 s), Dacia 1310 1.4 63 (1999) (14.47 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen C3 1.1 60 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 C3 1.1 60 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.
