Bingo. I dont know why they didnt throw a 70:1 crawl ratio in there just to say they have over a 100,000 torques.
Board member A: We are trying to appease the environmentally savvy shopper, but it is not working. We built an electric car, a very efficient hybrid and made hybrids out of our other cars, and people didn’t buy them.
11 thousand foot-pounds for 11 minutes at 11 miles range, when towing 11 thousand pounds of trailer weight. Followed by 11 hours at a charging station.
The F-350 with 1050ft-lb, a 4.17 first gear, and a 4.30 rear gear is 20,836ft-lb to the ground.
GM has completely lost the plot. We want vehicles that aren’t ugly and have decent interiors. We don’t need another behemoth that’s a useless brodozer.
Yeah I wondered that too. 10X higher rating than any production vehicle ever released seems like advertising material counting on consumers not to understand the details about where that torque is measured.
It has got to be under some narrowly-defined condition or specific location just so they can advertise a gigantic number.
11,500 lb-ft of torque
What’s more convenient then plugging it in every night when you get home? Are you regularly driving 250-300 miles a day? If so, then yeah, it’s not for you.
That'll fix their sales. Another antiquated engine that costs more than others complete motorcycle.
Speaking of which, did you know I’m a billionaire?
I am a big rotary-nerd, but I am also quite a realist about how next-to-impossible another rotary powered sports car would be.
There’s no EV on the horizon
I6 is just as long as a V12, no?
“manual”
A rwd, manual, coupe with Mazda handling? Sounds good regardless of the engine.
If losing a rotary is inevitable, an Inline 6 is at least an acceptable consolation. I’m not a big rotary nerd, I just think they sound cool and I appreciate things that are different. But I also recognize it might just be a concept that will never pan out to the extent that piston engines have.
If we can have a “Turbo” electric Porsche or a Mercedes AMG “63” with a 4.0 liter engine, then why not an RX with an in-line 6?
I mean, I’m gonna get technical here, but doesn’t the tesla roadster hold the altitude record?
