Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135

The Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135 reaches 60 mph in 9.02 s (100 km/h in 9.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.85 s, tripping the lights at 84.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 11.01 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 Xsara 2.0i 135

The 1997 Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,155 kg with 130 bhp, which works out at 113 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 8,485th quickest to 60 mph, and the 62nd quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 84.2 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 Xsara 2.0i 135 0-60 time?
The Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135 reaches 60 mph in 9.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,485th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135 quarter mile time?
16.85 s at 84.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.01 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 Xsara 2.0i 135 have?
130 bhp and 1,155 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 202 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Stilo 3dr 1.8 133 (9.02 s), Renault 19 3-door 1.8 113 (9.02 s), Renault Clio Symbol/Thalia 1.6 16V 107 (2000) (9.04 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen Xsara 2.0i 135 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 Xsara 2.0i 135 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.
