Renaultsport Spyder / Performance Data

[v6Max]

Does anybody know of a good site for performance data - preferably manufacturers or properly logged data?

Alternatively anyone who knows the following about the Renaultsport Spyder (and I mean the ones from the Cup series, not the roadgoing variant i.e. the proper race car version) I would be very greatful:

Weight, BHP, BHP per ton, torque, 0-60

Thanks...

Yep

 

[Lagerlout]

Good engine then I guess. It looks like it should be like 800kg, why so heavy???

 

[BenR]

because it has a shed load of crap attatched to it and the actual ally spar frame is massive.

It uses a megane type hybrid engine.

I saw one yesterday, looked amazing but im shocked that its performance isnt up to scratch with its styling...

 

[Lagerlout]

some kind of F4R then?

I like the look of it though. Shame its not as fast as it looks... how does it handle?

 

[BenR]

no, its an F7, but a megane F7 more than a williams F7

 

[BenR]

handles quite well, twitchy as funk, but the one im doing is on A032Rs not road tyres....

really needs an lsd

150bhp
0-60 in 6.8 ish
2l 16v

And theyre expensive too, you could get an S2 Elise for the same!

 

[v6Max]

Ok thanks guys.

The one I have is not the road going version - its an ex Cup car. Its not as porky as the road variant.

If you know where to look there not as expensive as you may think. As I said ours is an ex Cup car, with a complete respray, an extra set of wheels, a new rear clam-shell, new pads and front discs it cost us less than 10k - if you can find me an S2 Elise for that PM because Im looking for one of those as well

Ive never driven the road-going version but I drove ours at Bthorpe recently and in comparison to our S1 Elise it was in a different league.

Having said all that BenR - do you know a good source for driveshafts for them (and I need them quickly). Ours snapped a shaft on the 2nd day of testing - but it had had a hard time!

Ah ok, I just saw http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/cars_search.asp?modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=RENAULT&model=SPORT+SPIDER&variant=&keywords=&min_pr=75&max_pr=&mileage=&agerange=&postcode=mk113lw&miles=1500&max_records=50&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCHthese, and that is a bit pricey!

Yours sounds nice, how they should have been.

 

[v6Max]

They are the porky road versions - they even have windscreens! Probably find they have a heater and carpets as well

 

[miketheman2k]

Damn hairdressers

 

[wrx-172]

Yeah the 210 bhp version is the one to go for... Got to be quick

according to that site it does a standing 1/4 mile in 14.6... so not too shabby, at least Williams/172 pace in that respect... must be aerodynamics

 

[BenR]

i dont have a source for quick drive shafts no, sorry.
