About the 21 Sedan 2.0 136

The 1989 Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,144 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 117 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.87 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,304th quickest to 60 mph, and the 120th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 84.5 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 0-60 time?

The Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,304th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 quarter mile time?

16.78 s at 84.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.96 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 have?

134 bhp and 1,144 kg, which is 117 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 203 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136?

Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 185 (2001) (8.91 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 185 (2005) (8.91 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 BioPower 185 (8.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Renault 21 Sedan 2.0 136 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
