The 2014 DS Automobiles DS3 1.4 VTi 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,064 kg with 101 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.91 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 9,547th quickest to 60 mph, and the 21st quickest of the 33 DS Automobiless here. Its 80.8 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
