Citroen DS3 Racing

The Citroen DS3 Racing reaches 60 mph in 5.99 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.57 s, tripping the lights at 95.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.29 s and the eighth mile in 9.40 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 Racing

The 2010 Citroen DS3 Racing is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,224 kg with 204 bhp, which works out at 167 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.29 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,938th quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 15 Citroens here. Its 95.4 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.

204 bhp and 1,224 kg, which is 167 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen DS3 Racing?
Closest here on pace: MINI Clubman JCW Mk I (6.09 s), Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) (6.14 s), Peugeot 205 T16 (6.04 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen DS3 Racing in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Racing 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.
