Renault Megane R26.R

The Renault Megane R26.R reaches 60 mph in 5.60 s (100 km/h in 5.91 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.22 s, tripping the lights at 96.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 9.16 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 Megane R26.R

The 2008 Renault Megane R26.R is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,252 kg with 227 bhp, which works out at 181 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.23 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 2,781st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 6th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 96.9 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.

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 Megane R26.R 0-60 time?
The Renault Megane R26.R reaches 60 mph in 5.60 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,781st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Renault Megane R26.R quarter mile time?
14.22 s at 96.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Renault Megane R26.R have?
227 bhp and 1,252 kg, which is 181 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 237 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Renault Megane R26.R?
Closest here on pace: Mazda 3 MPS Mk II (5.69 s), Audi TT Quattro Sport Mk I (5.59 s), Peugeot 208 GTi Peugeot Sport (5.51 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Megane R26.R 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 Megane R26.R 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.
