Peugeot 205 T16

The Peugeot 205 T16 reaches 60 mph in 6.04 s (100 km/h in 6.87 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.82 s, tripping the lights at 93.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s and the eighth mile in 9.53 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 205 T16

The 1984 Peugeot 205 T16 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,145 kg with 198 bhp, which works out at 173 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.32 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,291st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 6th quickest of the 456 Peugeots here. Its 93.2 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 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Peugeot 205 T16 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 205 T16 reaches 60 mph in 6.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,291st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Peugeot 205 T16 quarter mile time?
14.82 s at 93.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.53 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Peugeot 205 T16 have?
198 bhp and 1,145 kg, which is 173 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 213 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Peugeot 205 T16?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac CTS 4 2.0T (6.04 s), MINI Clubman JCW Mk I (6.09 s), Fiat 595 Abarth 1.4 competizione 180 (6.20 s). Each one can be raced against the Peugeot 205 T16 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 Peugeot 205 T16 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
