Citroen DS3 Performance

The Citroen DS3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 5.69 s (100 km/h in 6.00 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.29 s, tripping the lights at 97.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s and the eighth mile in 9.25 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 DS3 Performance

The 2016 Citroen DS3 Performance is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,202 kg with 205 bhp, which works out at 171 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.28 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 2,897th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 97.6 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 10 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 DS3 Performance 0-60 time?
The Citroen DS3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 5.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,897th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen DS3 Performance quarter mile time?
14.29 s at 97.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.28 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen DS3 Performance have?
205 bhp and 1,202 kg, which is 171 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen DS3 Performance?
Closest here on pace: Hyundai i20 N BC3 (5.66 s), Acura TSX V-6 (5.71 s), Honda Accord 2.0T Mk X (5.72 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen DS3 Performance 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 DS3 Performance is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
