Renault Safrane 2.2i 140

The Renault Safrane 2.2i 140 reaches 60 mph in 9.30 s (100 km/h in 9.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.04 s, tripping the lights at 83.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s and the eighth mile in 11.17 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Safrane 2.2i 140

The 1992 Renault Safrane 2.2i 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,409 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 98 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.94 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 8,963rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 153rd quickest of the 499 Renaults here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.7 mph, the 7,972nd 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 2.2i 140 0-60 time?
The Renault Safrane 2.2i 140 reaches 60 mph in 9.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,963rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Renault Safrane 2.2i 140 quarter mile time?
17.04 s at 83.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.17 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Renault Safrane 2.2i 140 have?
138 bhp and 1,409 kg, which is 98 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 206 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Renault Safrane 2.2i 140?
Closest here on pace: Honda Accord CC7 2.0 i 131 (9.30 s), Fiat Croma 1.8 140 (9.30 s), Alfa Romeo 159 1.8 16V 140 (9.30 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Safrane 2.2i 140 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 2.2i 140 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.
