Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90

The Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.65 s (100 km/h in 10.21 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.37 s, tripping the lights at 80.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s and the eighth mile in 11.27 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 DS 3 1.4 VTi 90

The 2009 Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,150 kg with 101 bhp, which works out at 87 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.91 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 9,549th quickest to 60 mph, and the 83rd quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 80.8 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 DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 0-60 time?
The Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,549th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 quarter mile time?
17.37 s at 80.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.27 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.91 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 have?
101 bhp and 1,150 kg, which is 87 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 183 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90?
Closest here on pace: Fiat 500 1.3 Multijet 95 (9.68 s), Fiat 500 C 1.3 MultiJet 95 (9.68 s), Mitsubishi Space Star 1.8 16V 112 (9.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 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 DS 3 1.4 VTi 90 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.
