About the Vel Satis 2.0 dCi 175

The 2005 Renault Vel Satis 2.0 dCi 175 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,565 kg with 170 bhp, which works out at 109 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 7,652nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 100th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 84.1 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 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 dCi 175 0-60 time?

The Renault Vel Satis 2.0 dCi 175 reaches 60 mph in 8.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,652nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 dCi 175 quarter mile time?

16.63 s at 84.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.71 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 dCi 175 have?

170 bhp and 1,565 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 211 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 dCi 175?

Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 1.6T 180 (8.60 s), Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 2.0 CDTI 160 (8.60 s), Opel Astra Twin Top 2.0 16V Turbo 170 (8.60 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault Vel Satis 2.0 dCi 175 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 dCi 175 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.
