Renaissance Tropica Roadster: which version to buy
There is one version to buy: AT. The Renaissance Tropica Roadster ran a single generation from 1995-01-01 to 1995-12-31, in one body (Roadster), with one listed modification. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, no restyle, and no later generation to trade against.
There is one version to buy: AT. The Renaissance Tropica Roadster ran a single generation from 1995-01-01 to 1995-12-31, in one body (Roadster), with one listed modification. There is no second engine, no second gearbox, no restyle, and no later generation to trade against. The buying question is not “which Tropica Roadster” in a line-up; it is whether AT’s measured numbers — 67 hp, 49 kW, 110 top speed, 650 kerb weight, 127 ground clearance, Electro fuel, Automatic gearbox, RWD — match what you need, and which gaps (0–100, consumption, tank, wheels, torque) you must treat as not measured.
Which Tropica Roadster version to buy
Buy AT if you want the only factory specification in the data. It is Electro, Automatic, RWD, 67 hp (49 kW), with boost No. Cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, engine layout, and displacement are not measured, so you cannot choose this car on a litre count or a cylinder count: those figures are not in the catalogue.
There is no second Tropica Roadster name to contrast. Two versions with the same badge do not exist here, so you do not split AT by horsepower the way two identical names would be split. 67 hp is the whole power choice.
What the numbers buy, as arithmetic on this one row:
- Power-to-weight: 650 kg kerb / 67 hp = 9.70 kg per hp. Equivalently, 67 / 650 = 0.103 hp per kg.
- kW-to-weight: 650 / 49 = 13.27 kg per kW; 49 / 650 = 0.075 kW per kg.
- Top speed vs mass: 110 is the only speed figure. 110 relative to 650 kg is 0.169 speed units per kg (110 / 650). That ratio is not a second version; it is how fast this one AT is allowed to be against how much it weighs.
- Clearance vs mass: 127 ground clearance on 650 kg is 0.195 mm per kg (127 / 650). Ground clearance is measured; tank and wheels are not measured, so you cannot buy AT for a stated tank size or a stated wheel size.
If you need a petrol displacement, a cylinder count, a 0–100 time, or a consumption figure before you buy, AT does not supply them: displacement, 0–100, city / highway / combined consumption, CO2, and eco class are not measured. That is a reason not to buy, not a missing row in a comparison table.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation is the only generation: 1995-01-01–1995-12-31, Roadster, 1 version (AT). There is no 2nd generation to pick instead, and no restyling nested inside this generation. Buying “the later Tropica Roadster” is not a choice the data supports.
What this generation did lock in for a buyer of AT:
- Body: Roadster only.
- Drive: RWD only.
- Gearbox: Automatic only; number of gears not measured.
- Engine type and fuel: Electro / Electro.
- Boost: No.
- Brakes: Disc front, Disc rear (labels as in the data).
- Suspension: Independent, spring front; Independent, spring rear.
- Production window: the same start and stop on the generation and on AT (1995-01-01 to 1995-12-31). You are not choosing an early-year spec versus a late-year spec; the dates do not split.
What this generation did not give a buyer: a second body, a second fuel, a second drive, or a measured tank / wheel / 0–100 / consumption set. Those absences are the same for every Tropica Roadster you can specify, because there is only AT.
Engine and specs: the only version, named as in the data
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 67 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | No | Automatic | RWD |
AT is 67 hp and 49 kW. Torque (Nm) and torque rpm are not measured, so you cannot buy on a newton-metre figure. Displacement is not measured, so power per litre is not calculated — there is no litre number to divide 67 by. Cylinders and cylinder layout are not measured; do not infer a format. Boost is No. Gearbox is Automatic; gear count not measured. Drive is RWD.
Engine position, fuel system, compression, and bore × stroke are not measured. Peak power rpm is not measured. The engine story a buyer can use is therefore short and exact: Electro, 67 hp, 49 kW, No boost, Automatic, RWD.
Performance and economy (mpg, 0–100, top speed)
For AT:
- 0–100: not measured. You cannot rank this version on a sprint time.
- Top speed: 110. That is the only performance number that is measured besides power and weight.
- City consumption: not measured.
- Highway consumption: not measured.
- Combined consumption / mpg: not measured.
- CO2: not measured.
- Eco class: not measured.
There is no second Tropica Roadster to be “the economical one.” Economy is not a differentiator between versions; it is an unmeasured field on the only version. If a buying rule of yours is “I pick the lower combined figure,” this catalogue cannot apply that rule to AT.
What you can still use: 67 hp in 650 kg (9.70 kg/hp) and a 110 top speed. 110 is the cap; 0–100 is not there to say how long AT takes to approach it.
Dimensions, weight, clearance, tank, wheels
For AT:
- Kerb weight: 650.
- Gross weight: not measured. Payload is not a catalogue subtraction you can finish: full mass is missing.
- Ground clearance: 127.
- Tank: not measured (Electro fuel; no tank volume in the data).
- Wheels: not measured.
Buying on size of wheels or on tank range is not supported. Buying on kerb weight is: 650 is light next to the 67 hp figure in the kg-per-hp ratio above. Buying on ground clearance is: 127 is measured; whether 127 is enough is your use case, not a second spec.
Reliability and problems
No reliability scores, failure rates, or problem lists are in the data. Treat reliability as not measured. Do not read silence as “no problems.” The mechanical facts you do have for a used AT are: Electro, Automatic, RWD, Independent, spring at both ends, Disc / Disc brakes, 650 kg, 127 clearance, 110 top speed, 67 hp / 49 kW, production only in the 1995-01-01–1995-12-31 window.
Which version to choose — the numbers only
1. The version name to specify is AT. There is no other Tropica Roadster modification in the data. Do not rename it. 2. Power: 67 hp / 49 kW. There is no 67-versus-other-hp fork on the same name. 3. Weight: 650 kerb; 9.70 kg per hp. Gross weight not measured. 4. Speed: 110; 0–100 not measured. 5. Drivetrain: Automatic, RWD; gears not measured. 6. Fuel and engine type: Electro / Electro; boost No; displacement not measured (no hp/litre). 7. Ride height: 127; tank and wheels not measured. 8. Generation choice: 1 generation only, Roadster, same dates as AT. No restyle, no later generation.
Buy AT when Electro + Automatic + RWD + 67 hp + 650 kg + 110 top speed + 127 clearance is the set you want, and you accept that Nm, litres, cylinders, 0–100, mpg, tank, wheels, and reliability are not measured. Do not buy AT if you require a measured displacement, a measured 0–100, a measured consumption, a second gearbox, a second drive, or a second generation — none of those exist as a Tropica Roadster alternative in this catalogue.
