Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92

The Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 reaches 60 mph in 9.18 s (100 km/h in 9.72 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.11 s, tripping the lights at 81.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s and the eighth mile in 11.03 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 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92

The 1972 Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 850 kg with 91 bhp, which works out at 107 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.78 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 8,749th quickest to 60 mph, and the 141st quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 81.3 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 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 0-60 time?
The Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 reaches 60 mph in 9.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,749th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 quarter mile time?
17.11 s at 81.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.03 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 have?
91 bhp and 850 kg, which is 107 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92?
Closest here on pace: Hyundai Veloster 1.6 140 (9.17 s), Toyota Ipsum (9.16 s), GMC Jimmy 3dr 4.3 V6 194 (9.19 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 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 5 3dr 1.4 Alpine 92 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.
