Off the line, the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 hits 100 km/h in 8.22 s versus 9.17 s for the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140. At this point, the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 leads by 0.95 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 is doing 117 km/h against 115 km/h for the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140. The gap is 0.68 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 crosses the line in 16.10 s versus 16.85 s. The 0.75 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 161 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 finishes in 29.16 s versus 29.94 s, with a 0.78 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 209 km/h), preventing any comeback.
On paper, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 combines 140 hp, 240 Nm and 1,196 kg — a clear theoretical edge over the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6. Yet the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 launches quicker. At standstill, both motors deliver peak torque from 0 rpm: the decisive factor is no longer raw power, but available grip. If the 208 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 has a better traction coefficient (tyres, weight distribution, traction control calibration), it puts down more force despite inferior specs — exactly what the simulation reflects, calibrated on manufacturer 0-100 km/h times.
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 9.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.97 seconds. The 0.95 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
