The DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 reaches 60 mph in 6.81 s (100 km/h in 7.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.25 s, tripping the lights at 93.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s and the eighth mile in 9.99 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and
drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures.

The 2016 DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 is a front-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,165 kg with 162 bhp, which works out at 139 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.46 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 4,346th quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 33 DS Automobiless here. Its 93.9 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 DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 0-60 time?
The DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 reaches 60 mph in 6.81 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,346th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 quarter mile time?
15.25 s at 93.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 have?
162 bhp and 1,165 kg, which is 139 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 217 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible 2.4 GT Turbo 223 (6.91 s), Fiat 124 Spider 1.4 MultiAir 140 (6.82 s), Lotus Elan (6.78 s). Each one can be raced against the DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 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 DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 THP Start and Stop 165 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.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
