What is the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS 0-60 time?

The Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,540th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS quarter mile time?

13.89 s at 101.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS have?

276 bhp and 1,505 kg, which is 184 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 255 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS?

Closest here on pace: Audi TT 3.2 quattro Mk II (5.37 s), Subaru WRX Mk IV (5.29 s), Nissan Maxima SV (5.35 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS 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 RS MK IV 280 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Megane RS MK IV 280 PS

The 2018 Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,505 kg with 276 bhp, which works out at 184 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.21 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 2,540th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 2nd quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 101.1 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 10 published acceleration figures for this car.
