Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120

The Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s (100 km/h in 9.63 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.94 s, tripping the lights at 83.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s and the eighth mile in 11.04 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 C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120

The 2008 Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,220 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.87 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 8,637th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 83.3 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 C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 0-60 time?
The Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,637th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 quarter mile time?
16.94 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.04 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 have?
118 bhp and 1,220 kg, which is 97 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120?
Closest here on pace: MG Montego EFi (9.09 s), Kia Pro cee'd 2.0 CRDi 140 (9.10 s), Fiat Palio Weekend 1.6 16v 115 (9.10 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 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 C4 Hatchback 1.6 VTi 120 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.
