Renault Austral has a top speed of 175km per hour

Renault Austral – Over the decades, our cars have continued to improve their performance despite exponential weight gain, forcing an increase in power.

When, at the top of the Peugeot 205 range, a 130 hp sports car was proudly enthroned in the 1980s

His great-granddaughter, now embodied by the 208, displays the same level of power without complaining about the clock.

However, if the inherent lightness of the 205 GTi allows it to accelerate more strongly than a 130 hp 208 PureTech,

with five tenths of best observed in the exercise from 0 to 100 km/h (8.2)

A small advantage that the 208 owes to the progress made over more than 30 years in terms of engine optimization and gearbox staging.

An observation that applies today to all contemporary automobile production, most Dacias crossing the 180 km/h threshold without complaint.
