What is the max speed can Clio reach?

Any ways to increase Top speed?

I only tried 186kmh for Clio 1.4L 16v.

You need more power and a longer box.

stock rpm limiter 7000rpm 5th gear----> 242km/h = 150mph (clock)

with a new program and a air filter(BMC-CDA) and rpm limiter to 7300 or 7500 ---> 250km/h or a bit more, and you can get to this speed quicker..

With stock program, youll need a long long road or a slightly descending road to get to your cars stock maximum speed

Dont want to be seen to be peeing on anybodys fire, but almost without exception, speedos over-read by a good 5-10% at top speeds. and !

I managed to get my needle to touch 140mph. But like Ben said it was poss 5-10% slower that that

Still the 206 Gti couldnt keep up.

I have had a genuine 132.34 out of my standard 16v gearbox along a 2 mile stretch of Bruntingthorpe with Racelogic timing gear.

See next issue of Perfomance GTI for more details.

Have taken my 1.4 16V to just over 190kmh on the clock

I think the tested true speed for a 172 is 208kmh (223 on the clock)
