Off the line, the Cooper C FWD hits 100 km/h in 7.70 s versus 8.73 s for the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160. At this point, the Cooper C FWD leads by 1.03 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cooper C FWD is doing 122 km/h against 114 km/h for the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160. The gap is 0.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cooper C FWD crosses the line in 15.67 s versus 16.39 s. The 0.72 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Cooper C FWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cooper C FWD finishes in 28.06 s versus 29.70 s, with a 1.63 s lead.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 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 (8.56 kg/hp vs 7.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.81 seconds. The 1.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
