Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS

The Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.80 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,850th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 27 Peugeots here. It leaves better than it pulls: 94.4 mph at the lights is only the 2,190th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Closest here on pace: SEAT Leon Cupra (5.82 s), Ford Focus ST (5.84 s), Acura TSX V-6 (5.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Peugeot 208 GTI 200 PS 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 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 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
