Simple question. Anyone know what RPM the car turns at 100kph?
That would depend on what configuration you have, how loaded the vehicle is, what tyres/wheels you have, what gear you are in, wind, uphill/flat/downhill.
A more appropriate answer might be probably not mate as no one that we are aware of on the forum has driven it on the road properly yet.
Sorry.. was thinking old school. My defender on standard tyres sits on 2500rpm at 100. Those revs make it less than pleasant. Especially for like 3000k
That's interesting. I thought someone would have. We have so many unknowns still.
Not a simple answer though...a BMW dealer might be able to give you figures on the, I think X5 models had a B57 with the ZF gearbox, it would be a rough idea... that is if you were wondering about a diesel that will differ from petrol.
I have driven on tar closed track around bends and in straight line p to about 85/90 kmh and it was extremely good.
1,000 rpm is for 4 x 4's built next century
It be Jetsons by then
Sounds both very good and very plausible.
Great spot! if that ratio holds we're looking at 1700 at 100k which is as forecast above!
If so the Diesel would be around 1,500
which it probably is, making allowance for parallax error ...and every 100rpm equates to approx 6 km/hr (based on the previous photo of the dashboard in the vehicle in Namibia ...rough estimate 136km/hr @2300rpm approx 59km/hr/1000rpm)...so 100km/hr is approx 1700rpm
