TCe 100 (D4Ft)
Since the beginning of 2007 Renault release its new petrol 1.2-litre TCe engine.
Engineered for driving pleasure, it combines the fuel consumption of an engine of its size with the power of a 1.4-litre block of the torque of a 1.6-litre powerplant.
Genuine punch
Developped from the 1.2 16V 75hp block, the new engine TCe 100 is equipped with a low inertia turbo that ensures minimal lag thanks to its small diameter turbine and compressor.
Its maximum power of 100hp and peak torque of 145 Nm ar available at 5,500rpm and 3,000rpm respectively. The marriage of a small cubic capacity and a low inertia turbo ensures lively response from low revs, while maximum torque is available from low speeds and remains available across a broad rev-band. The turbocharger includes an "overpower" feature which temporarly boosts power output in 2nd, 3rd, 4th gears at engine speeds of more than 4,500rpm (5hp extra torque).
Fuel efficient
With a cubic capacity of 1,149cc, this small engine enables Modus, Clio and New Twingo to claim record combined cycle fuel consumption of 5.9 litres/100km, a figure to which its low idling speed of 650rpm contributes
Respect for the environment
With CO2 emissions homologated at 140g/km, the TCe 100 engine will also contribute to the "CAFE 2008" commitment made by Renault to achieve average CO2 emissions for its range of 140g/km by 2008. This engine is also a response to the anticipated revival in terest for petrol engines compared with small diesels when the Euro5 standard comes into effect in Europe.
