About the Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170

The 2005 Renault Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,615 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 104 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.54 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 7,839th quickest to 60 mph, and the 105th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 83.8 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 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 Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 0-60 time?

The Renault Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 reaches 60 mph in 8.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,839th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 quarter mile time?

16.70 s at 83.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 have?

168 bhp and 1,615 kg, which is 104 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170?

Closest here on pace: SEAT Exeo ST 1.8 T 150 (8.67 s), Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD 150 (8.67 s), Volvo S80 2.0 D4 163 (8.70 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 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 Vel Satis 2.0 16V Turbo 170 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
