About the Safrane 2.0 138

The 1996 Renault Safrane 2.0 138 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,425 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 94 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.99 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 9,451st quickest to 60 mph, and the 172nd quickest of the 499 Renaults here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.0 mph, the 8,340th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 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 Safrane 2.0 138 0-60 time?

The Renault Safrane 2.0 138 reaches 60 mph in 9.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,451st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Renault Safrane 2.0 138 quarter mile time?

17.23 s at 83.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.31 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Renault Safrane 2.0 138 have?

134 bhp and 1,425 kg, which is 94 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 207 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Renault Safrane 2.0 138?

Closest here on pace: Holden Vectra Sedan 1.8 126 (9.58 s), Chrysler Sebring Sedan 2.0 141 (9.58 s), Nissan Primera Traveller 2.0 16V 116 (9.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Safrane 2.0 138 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 Safrane 2.0 138 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.
