DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 VTi 120

The DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 VTi 120 reaches 60 mph in 10.00 s (100 km/h in 10.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.83 s, tripping the lights at 83.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.16 s and the eighth mile in 11.86 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 DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 VTi 120

The 2013 DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 VTi 120 is a front-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,220 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.16 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 10,135th quickest to 60 mph, and the 26th quickest of the 33 DS Automobiless here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.0 mph, the 8,366th 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.

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 VTi 120 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.
