Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS

The Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.80 s (100 km/h in 6.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.46 s, tripping the lights at 94.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s and the eighth mile in 9.27 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 208 GTI 200 PS

The 2012 Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,160 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 170 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.21 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 3,026th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 5th quickest of the 456 Peugeots here. Its 94.4 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.80 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,026th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS quarter mile time?
14.46 s at 94.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.27 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS have?
197 bhp and 1,160 kg, which is 170 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Leon Cupra (5.82 s), Noble M10 (5.76 s), Ford Focus ST (2012) (5.84 s). Each one can be raced against the Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS 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 208 GTI 200 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
