Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163

The Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 reaches 60 mph in 7.51 s (100 km/h in 7.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.88 s, tripping the lights at 87.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 10.29 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 408 1.6 THP 163

The 2010 Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,420 kg with 165 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 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 5,576th quickest to 60 mph, and the 33rd quickest of the 456 Peugeots here. Its 87.8 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.

Questions

What is the Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 reaches 60 mph in 7.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,576th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 quarter mile time?
15.88 s at 87.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.29 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 have?
165 bhp and 1,420 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163?
Closest here on pace: BMW 5 Series 520d 177 (7.50 s), VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 160 (7.52 s), Opel Astra GTC 1.6 Turbo 180 (7.52 s). Each one can be raced against the Peugeot 408 1.6 THP 163 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 408 1.6 THP 163 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
