Which version to choose

All twelve shown Peugeot 505 versions are Sedan, RWD, Gasoline, 4 Inline, Front, transverse. Choice is engine size, boost, gearbox and the few measured performance/weight figures.

If you want the only card with a full measured loop of acceleration, top speed, mpg-style consumption and both weights, that is 1.8 MT (84 hp): 84 hp / 62 kW, 144 Nm, 1796 cm³, Carburetor, Manual 5, 14.5 s to 100 km/h, 165 km/h, 11.3 / 6.3 / 8.3 L/100 km, kerb 1215 kg, gross 1640 kg. The other 1.8 MT (82 hp) is 2 hp and 2 kW lower, uses 1800 cm³, a 4-speed Manual, and has torque, 0–100, top speed, consumption and both weights not measured.

If you want 1971 cm³ and 181 Nm (the highest measured torque in the shown set, 1 Nm above the 180 Nm of 2.2 MT 150 hp), choose 2.0 MT (98 hp) or 2.0 AT (98 hp). They share 98 hp / 72 kW at 5200 rpm, Carburetor, fuel 95, compression 8.8. The MT is Manual 5; the AT is Automatic 3. 0–100, top speed, consumption and weights are not measured on both.

If you want multi-point injection on a 2.0 without turbo, 2.0 MT (110 hp) is 110 hp / 81 kW at 6000 rpm, 1998 cm³, 140 Nm, fuel 92, Manual 5. That is 12 hp more than 2.0 MT (98 hp) and 41 Nm less torque.

If you want naturally aspirated 2.2 with Manual 5: 2.2 MT (116 hp) is 2155 cm³, 116 hp / 85 kW, fuel 92; 2.2 MT (114 hp) is 2165 cm³, 114 hp / 84 kW, 174 Nm, fuel 95, and is the second card with measured 0–100 (12.8 s), top speed (178 km/h), consumption (12.9 / 7.3 / 9.8) and weights (1340 / 2010 kg); 2.2 MT (122 hp) is 122 hp / 90 kW on 2165 cm³ with most other figures not measured. 2.2 AT (116 hp) is the automatic pair to 2.2 MT (116 hp): same 116 hp / 85 kW and 2155 cm³, Automatic 3.

If you want Turbo (the three turbo cards people search as “505 turbo specs”): all are named 2.2 MT, all 2155 cm³, Distributed injection (multi-point), fuel 92, Manual 5, RWD. Distinguish by power: 2.2 MT (150 hp) 150 hp / 110 kW / 180 Nm; 2.2 MT (155 hp) 155 hp / 114 kW, torque not measured; 2.2 MT (174 hp) 174 hp / 128 kW, torque not measured. 2.2 MT (174 hp) is the strongest shown Peugeot 505: 92 hp above 1.8 MT (82 hp) and 58 hp above 2.2 MT (116 hp) on the same 2155 cm³. 0–100, top speed, consumption, tank, wheels and both weights are not measured on all three turbo cards.
