OpenRank GPS time (community)

Not enough verified trips yet — time yours in the app.

The Renault Clio Williams (1993–1996) is quoted at 7.8 s from 0 to 100 km/h by the manufacturer for the 2.0 16V 150 ch. That is a type-approval figure (150 hp, FWD), not a GPS run.

On the road, load, slope, tyres and phone GPS (about ±0.2 to 0.5 s) often stretch the time. Measure yours with OpenRank — no community average is invented.

Manufacturer vs real GPS

The 7.8 s figure is a reference. On the road, a smartphone GPS (OpenRank) measures speed from successive positions, not a wheel sensor. Expect a gap: rolling from 2–3 km/h, a slope, two passengers or worn tyres is enough.

FAQ

What is the official 0–100 km/h of the Renault Clio Williams?

The manufacturer quotes 7.8 seconds for the 2.0 16V 150 ch (1993–1996). That is a type-approval figure, not a GPS run.

Where does the 7.8 s figure come from?

From the manufacturer spec sheet (type-approval protocol). OpenRank does not recompute it and only publishes a community GPS average when enough verified trips exist.

Can a smartphone reproduce this time on the road?

Rarely to the tenth. Load, fuel, temperature, tyres, slope and phone GPS (about ±0.2 to 0.5 s) often add a few tenths to more than a second.

How do I time my Clio Williams 0–100 with OpenRank?

Install OpenRank (free, iPhone or Android), start a trip with GPS already locked, launch from a standstill on a legal road and read the time in the history.
