Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.53 s at
83.7 mph against the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100’s
17.17 s — a margin of
0.64 s. To 60 mph the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 takes
8.36 s and the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100
9.63 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Watch the run in full — then change the surface, the weather
or the distance and run it again.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100,
2/2 for the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100 or the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 faster?
The Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.53 s to the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100's 17.17 s, a margin of 0.64 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.36 s against 9.63 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100 0-60 time?
The Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100 reaches 60 mph in 9.63 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.17 s at 79.9 mph.
What is the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 reaches 60 mph in 8.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.53 s at 83.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100 trips the lights at 79.9 mph and the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132 at 83.7 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech 100 and 2 of 2 for the Peugeot 2008 1.5 BlueHDi 132. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
