Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS vs Hyundai i30 1.6 95

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS is the quicker car, covering it in 13.89 s at 101.1 mph against the Hyundai i30 1.6 95’s 17.95 s — a margin of 4.06 s. To 60 mph the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS takes 5.37 s and the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 11.08 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS or the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 faster?
The Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.89 s to the Hyundai i30 1.6 95's 17.95 s, a margin of 4.06 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.37 s against 11.08 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.89 s at 101.1 mph.
What is the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 0-60 time?
The Hyundai i30 1.6 95 reaches 60 mph in 11.08 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.95 s at 75.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS trips the lights at 101.1 mph and the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 at 75.7 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Renault Megane RS MK IV 280 PS and 2 of 2 for the Hyundai i30 1.6 95. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
