Peugeot 205 T16

The Peugeot 205 T16 reaches 60 mph in 6.04 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,967th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 27 Peugeots here. It leaves better than it pulls: 93.2 mph at the lights is only the 2,295th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Closest here on pace: MINI Clubman JCW Mk I (6.09 s), Citroen DS3 Racing (5.99 s), Abarth 500 EsseEsse (6.11 s). Each one can be raced against the Peugeot 205 T16 in the panel at the top of this page.
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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
