Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88 vs Ford S-Max 2.5

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford S-Max 2.5 is the quicker car, covering it in 16.05 s at 90.0 mph against the Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88’s 19.43 s — a margin of 3.38 s. To 60 mph the Ford S-Max 2.5 takes 7.79 s and the Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88 12.98 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.

Questions

Is the Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88 or the Ford S-Max 2.5 faster?
The Ford S-Max 2.5. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.05 s to the Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88's 19.43 s, a margin of 3.38 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.79 s against 12.98 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88 0-60 time?
The Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88 reaches 60 mph in 12.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.43 s at 73.8 mph.
What is the Ford S-Max 2.5 0-60 time?
The Ford S-Max 2.5 reaches 60 mph in 7.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.05 s at 90.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Citroen C4 Coupe 1.4 88 trips the lights at 73.8 mph and the Ford S-Max 2.5 at 90.0 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 C4 Coupe 1.4 88 and 8 of 10 for the Ford S-Max 2.5. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
