Questions

Is the Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 or the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH faster?
The Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.11 s to the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH's 17.29 s, a margin of 1.18 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.84 s against 9.46 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 MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH 0-60 time?
The MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH reaches 60 mph in 9.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.29 s at 80.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 130 trips the lights at 85.8 mph and the MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH at 80.6 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 MG MG3 1.5 VTi-TECH. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
