Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155

The Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s (100 km/h in 9.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.62 s, tripping the lights at 85.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 10.90 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 Xantia 2.0i 155

The 1993 Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,325 kg with 153 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.88 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 7,079th quickest to 60 mph, and the 35th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 85.9 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 Xantia 2.0i 155 0-60 time?
The Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,079th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155 quarter mile time?
16.62 s at 85.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155 have?
153 bhp and 1,325 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 213 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155?
Closest here on pace: Renault Twingo RS Cup Mk II (8.34 s), Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet (8.37 s), Lancia Delta 1.4 T-Jet 16V (8.32 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen Xantia 2.0i 155 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 Xantia 2.0i 155 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.
