Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 vs Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 is the quicker car, covering it in 16.11 s at 85.8 mph against the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3)’s 18.95 s — a margin of 2.84 s. To 60 mph the Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 takes 7.84 s and the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) 12.11 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 Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 or the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) faster?
The Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.11 s to the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3)'s 18.95 s, a margin of 2.84 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.84 s against 12.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 reaches 60 mph in 7.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.11 s at 85.8 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 trips the lights at 85.8 mph and the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3) at 74.3 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 Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 and 2 of 2 for the Citroen C3 PureTech 83 (Mk3). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
