G60 rev-limit / tacho redline

Recommended Posts

Just been watching the old Top Gear Corrado review (

).

 

At about 1.55, he says the limiter cuts in harshly at 6200rpm - but his tacho redline starts at 7k. Is this usual?!

 

PS I have a VR6 - is there any gain to having a higher rev-limit?

You can modify the map to increase the cut off, but not the best idea unless the engine is heavily modified, and requires it.

Well spotted - must have only had 16V clocks available - bl00dy Karmann!

 

You don't really ever want to rev a G60 past 6k anyhow, no need on an 8v

 

Also spot that the bonnet looks slightly open on some corners and the rear lights don't line up - shoddy for a press car!

 

Good overall review though
