Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146

The Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146 reaches 60 mph in 8.41 s (100 km/h in 9.42 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.61 s, tripping the lights at 83.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s and the eighth mile in 10.74 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 XM 2.0 Turbo 146

The 1989 Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,400 kg with 143 bhp, which works out at 102 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 7,319th quickest to 60 mph, and the 42nd quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 83.3 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.

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 XM 2.0 Turbo 146 0-60 time?
The Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146 reaches 60 mph in 8.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,319th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146 quarter mile time?
16.61 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.74 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 XM 2.0 Turbo 146 have?
143 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 TiD 176 (8.42 s), Renault Talisman 1.6 dCi 160 (8.45 s), SEAT Exeo 1.8 TSI 150 (8.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen XM 2.0 Turbo 146 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 XM 2.0 Turbo 146 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.
