About the Saxo VTR 1.6i

The 1997 Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 920 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 96 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.74 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 7,737th quickest to 60 mph, and the 51st quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 84.7 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 1 of 1 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 Saxo VTR 1.6i 0-60 time?

The Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i reaches 60 mph in 8.62 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,737th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i quarter mile time?

16.63 s at 84.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.74 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i have?

89 bhp and 920 kg, which is 96 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i?

Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Insignia Hatchback 2.0 CDTI ecoFLEX ( 160 HP) (8.60 s), Opel Astra 5dr 1.4 ECOTEC Start/Stop 125 (8.57 s), Renault Mégane Hatch 1.9 dCi 130 (8.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i 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 VTR 1.6i is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 1 of its 1 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
