Citroen DS3 THP 150

The Citroen DS3 THP 150 reaches 60 mph in 6.23 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.89 s, tripping the lights at 90.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.18 s and the eighth mile in 9.48 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 THP 150

The 2011 Citroen DS3 THP 150 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,165 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 132 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.18 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 2,056th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 15 Citroens here. It leaves better than it pulls: 90.8 mph at the lights is only the 2,454th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Citroen DS3 THP 150?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Grande Punto Abarth EsseEsse (6.25 s), Abarth 500 EsseEsse (6.11 s), Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS (6.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen DS3 THP 150 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 THP 150 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
