Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194

The Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 reaches 60 mph in 8.13 s (100 km/h in 8.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.41 s, tripping the lights at 89.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s and the eighth mile in 10.82 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 Break 3.0 V6 194

The 1997 Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 is a front-drive naturally aspirated estate of 1,655 kg with 192 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.89 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 6,761st quickest to 60 mph, and the 29th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 89.6 mph, the 5,314th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 0-60 time?
The Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 reaches 60 mph in 8.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,761st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 quarter mile time?
16.41 s at 89.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 have?
192 bhp and 1,655 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 228 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194?
Closest here on pace: VW Passat Variant 2.0 TDI B6 170 PS (8.20 s), Peugeot 308 SW 1.6 THP 175 (8.14 s), Renault Talisman Estate 1.3 TCe 160 (8.19 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen XM Break 3.0 V6 194 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 Break 3.0 V6 194 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.
