What is the Renault Clio 197 0-60 time?

The Renault Clio 197 reaches 60 mph in 6.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,091st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Renault Clio 197 quarter mile time?

15.21 s at 92.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.87 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Renault Clio 197 have?

194 bhp and 1,240 kg, which is 157 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Renault Clio 197?

Closest here on pace: Fiat 595 Abarth 1.4 turismo 165 (6.63 s), SEAT Leon FR (6.65 s), Abarth 500 / 595 / 695 595 Turismo 1.4 T-Jet 165 (6.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Clio 197 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 Clio 197 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Renault Clio 197

The Renault Clio 197 reaches 60 mph in 6.65 s (100 km/h in 7.02 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.21 s, tripping the lights at 92.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s and the eighth mile in 9.87 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 Clio 197

The 2006 Renault Clio 197 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,240 kg with 194 bhp, which works out at 157 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.48 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 4,091st quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 92.0 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.
