Renault 25 2.9 V6 139

The Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 reaches 60 mph in 9.12 s (100 km/h in 9.63 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.93 s, tripping the lights at 83.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 11.05 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 25 2.9 V6 139

The 1984 Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,260 kg with 137 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.88 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 8,649th quickest to 60 mph, and the 139th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 83.7 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.

Questions

What is the Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 0-60 time?
The Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 reaches 60 mph in 9.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,649th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 quarter mile time?
16.93 s at 83.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 have?
137 bhp and 1,260 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 199 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Renault 25 2.9 V6 139?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Galant 1.8i 126 (9.11 s), Holden Cruze 1.8 140 (9.12 s), Toyota Avensis 1.8 130 (9.12 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault 25 2.9 V6 139 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 25 2.9 V6 139 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.
