Citroen Visa 1.6 105

The Citroen Visa 1.6 105 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s (100 km/h in 8.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.39 s, tripping the lights at 85.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s and the eighth mile in 10.62 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 Visa 1.6 105

The 1981 Citroen Visa 1.6 105 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 850 kg with 103 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.70 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 7,084th quickest to 60 mph, and the 36th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 85.6 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Citroen Visa 1.6 105 0-60 time?
The Citroen Visa 1.6 105 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,084th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen Visa 1.6 105 quarter mile time?
16.39 s at 85.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen Visa 1.6 105 have?
103 bhp and 850 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen Visa 1.6 105?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 (8.28 s), Lexus IS 220d 177 (8.25 s), Alfa Romeo 145 1.8 TS 144 (8.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen Visa 1.6 105 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 Visa 1.6 105 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
