Questions

Is the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) or the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 faster?
The Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.95 s to the Kia Picanto 1.0 67's 20.81 s, a margin of 1.86 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 12.11 s against 15.59 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 12.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.95 s at 74.3 mph.
What is the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 0-60 time?
The Kia Picanto 1.0 67 reaches 60 mph in 15.59 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.81 s at 68.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) trips the lights at 74.3 mph and the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 at 68.5 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 PureTech 83 (Mk3) and 2 of 2 for the Kia Picanto 1.0 67. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
