Off the line, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 hits 100 km/h in 6.65 s versus 9.78 s for the 308 PureTech 130. At this point, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 leads by 3.13 s and sits roughly 35 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 is doing 127 km/h against 113 km/h for the 308 PureTech 130. The gap is 1.97 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 crosses the line in 14.76 s versus 17.34 s. The 2.58 s gap represents roughly 97 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 158 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 finishes in 26.71 s versus 30.64 s, with a 3.93 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (231 vs 217 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 233 km/h, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 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 (5.64 kg/hp vs 9.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.90 seconds. The 3.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
