Off the line, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 hits 100 km/h in 9.17 s versus 11.80 s for the Tipo 1.4 100 6M. At this point, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 leads by 2.63 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 is doing 115 km/h against 103 km/h for the Tipo 1.4 100 6M. The gap is 1.16 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 crosses the line in 16.85 s versus 18.72 s. The 1.87 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 161 km/h versus 143 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 finishes in 29.94 s versus 33.43 s, with a 3.50 s lead.
Electronically capped at 210 km/h, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.54 kg/hp vs 12.13 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.43 seconds. The 2.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
