DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82

The DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 reaches 60 mph in 12.96 s (100 km/h in 13.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.42 s, tripping the lights at 73.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.37 s and the eighth mile in 12.70 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 DS3 1.2 VTi 82

The 2014 DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,120 kg with 80 bhp, which works out at 72 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.37 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 13,558th quickest to 60 mph, and the 31st quickest of the 33 DS Automobiless here. Its 73.2 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 DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 0-60 time?
The DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 reaches 60 mph in 12.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,558th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 quarter mile time?
19.42 s at 73.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.70 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.37 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 have?
80 bhp and 1,120 kg, which is 72 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 174 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Panda 1.2 Fire 69 (12.91 s), Lada Samara 4dr 1.5 72 (12.99 s), Chevrolet Classic 1.0 Flexpower 79 (13.02 s). Each one can be raced against the DS Automobiles DS3 1.2 VTi 82 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 DS3 1.2 VTi 82 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.
