Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90

The Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s (100 km/h in 9.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.98 s, tripping the lights at 82.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s and the eighth mile in 11.01 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 Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90

The 1998 Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 895 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.83 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 8,607th quickest to 60 mph, and the 65th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 82.7 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 Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90 0-60 time?
The Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,607th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90 quarter mile time?
16.98 s at 82.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.01 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.83 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90 have?
89 bhp and 895 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 187 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 90?
Closest here on pace: Dacia Logan 1.6 MPI 105 (9.10 s), Kia Picanto 5dr 1.0 T-GDI 100 (9.14 s), Kia Pro cee'd 2.0 CRDi 140 (9.10 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 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 Saxo 3dr VTS 1.6i 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.
