Volvo?
They'd rather chuck a moose at their cars. https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/autos/rec...
Flat out at 186 isn’t putting maximising energy through an engine.
Putting the power down, accelerating and decelerating through the gears, slowing the car with the gears, and then pushing on is far more aggressive.
Their test means nothing.
Nothing.
Maybe not 186, but an old 993 3.6 could pull this stunt at 150 for longer, and be fine.
This is what happen when PR and media Berks, along with bean counters take over the helm.
This kind of twaddle spouted.

Really i must laugh at this Porsche bulls
t to make all its fanboys happy and con them. Of the top marque cars, Porsche has the most engine problems you only need to read through the forums to find this out yet some still think a Porsche is made from rock . I must admit Porsche have done a great job in making this seem the case.

Never any issues with a Mezger.
So much bhiness on this thread.
In 9 years' time, batteries.
Nothing to talk about then.
Batteries are beyond dull.
Thats exactly why Porsche as shrewd as they are are investing ££billions in alternative fuel development meaning we can run ice cars past 2030 and way beyond... So much b

I remember the early Primera and Micra Engine testing at Sunderland.
I was based in the next door cell.
They attached the Engine to a Magnetic Device which was the equivalent of towing a Caravan full of Lead up a hill for 40 hours.
I remember being told of quite a few rods leaving the block with sheets of flames behind them.
I only got to see the aftermath.
All the failed parts were quickly shipped back to HO in Japan, somtimes Cranfield. With oil samples.
Volvo spent much time there with most of the large manufacturers.
Triumph Motorcycles were based in my Inspection Lab for 12 months. They became reliable after that!
It's all shared to keep development costs down.

Hook, line and sinker. I think you'll also find Audi, Bentley and..oh wait, VW, are doing the same. What a coincidence.

Don’t know why they bother, everyone knows these will be bought, kept in a garage and then flipped for the first 20 years Anyway then tucked away as a barn find in another 50.
The definition of flipping means this is only possible for a short time period in order to maximise profit.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
