Hey Guys and Gals! Yesterday I took my car to a very secluded spot and tested the top speed. We all know the car is listed as 93mph top speed restricted. Well, after numerous runs, the car repeatedly topped out at 95mph. Also, it pulls quite hard all the way to top speed, then reduces power to stay at 95mph. It has alot more power than the 95mph speed would dictate. Matt
Right on, thanks for driving to "mexico" to test this out Matt. ;-) My Smart ED is similar, pulls right up to the max 130 km/h and throttles there, it's at 17000 RPM at that speed, a bit loud for sure. I've heard "from good sources" that even an old 2013 Model S like mine pulls hard to 220 km/h ...
Hypertech and Superchips are probably already working on tuner chips that will take the SE to triple digits (warranty be damned!) I wonder what kind of range the SE can deliver at 95 mph? A Bugatti going 253 mph burns through a full tank of gas in 46 miles, which takes all of 11 minutes, but a thrilling 11 minutes, I'm sure.
