Off the line, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 hits 100 km/h in 6.65 s versus 8.12 s for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. Despite lacking instant torque, 220 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 leads by 1.47 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 is doing 127 km/h against 117 km/h for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. The gap is 0.86 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 16.13 s. The 1.38 s gap represents roughly 53 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 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 finishes in 26.71 s versus 30.62 s, with a 3.91 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Clio 4 RS Trophy 220 is capped at 233 km/h, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 at 150 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.23 seconds. The 1.47 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
