Renault Clio RS III Coupe

The Renault Clio RS III Coupe reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s (100 km/h in 5.78 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.99 s, tripping the lights at 101.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s and the eighth mile in 9.14 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.57 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 RS III Coupe

The 2007 Renault Clio RS III Coupe is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,060 kg with 204 bhp, which works out at 192 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.32 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 2,675th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 101.5 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 7 of 9 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 Clio RS III Coupe 0-60 time?
The Renault Clio RS III Coupe reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,675th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Renault Clio RS III Coupe quarter mile time?
13.99 s at 101.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.14 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Renault Clio RS III Coupe have?
204 bhp and 1,060 kg, which is 192 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Renault Clio RS III Coupe?
Closest here on pace: Aston Martin DB7 (5.44 s), BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92) 330i xDrive 272 (5.53 s), Honda S2000 2.0 250 (5.62 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Clio RS III Coupe 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 RS III Coupe is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 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.
