Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps

The Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps reaches 60 mph in 10.25 s (100 km/h in 10.72 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.83 s, tripping the lights at 83.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.11 s and the eighth mile in 11.88 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 GTi 105 ps

The 1978 Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 870 kg with 105 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.11 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 10,551st quickest to 60 mph, and the 124th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.4 mph, the 8,128th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 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 Visa GTi 105 ps 0-60 time?
The Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps reaches 60 mph in 10.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,551st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps quarter mile time?
17.83 s at 83.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.88 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps have?
105 bhp and 870 kg, which is 120 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 184 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps?
Closest here on pace: Lexus CT 200H (10.19 s), Saturn Astra XR (3dr) 1.8 140 (10.28 s), Daihatsu Sirion 2 1.3 87 (10.27 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen Visa GTi 105 ps 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 GTi 105 ps is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
