The same year, the Super Sport fulfilled the strict requirements of Guinness World Records and set a new world speed record for road cars of 431.072 km / h.

Conversely there is very little information on how the VOLT accomplishes the same task of seeking to depress its engine rpms at low load particularly when just cruising at high road speeds.

Equipped with a 2.0 - liter turbocharged 4 - cylinder engine with a 7 - speed transmission and all - wheel drive, the A5 not only shares the same powertrain and architecture as the A4, but pretty much the same road manners.

You get the same on - and off - road settings as the regular G - Class, but an update to the nine - speed transmission with support for double - declutching and a manual mode.

The close - ratio, 6 - speed manual transmission provided dynamic performance of a professional racer level, while at the same time delivering a comfortable driving feel on everyday roads.

When I drove the identical roads and at the same speeds, my control inputs were smoother and less dramatic with Mazda's G - Vectoring Control system enabled.

But at the same time the high speed stability is good though as the Countryman stays firmly glued to the road.

Two good reasons: on the one hand, upon start - up, gases heat up more quickly, which results in quicker treatment of polluting emissions; on the other hand, once you're on the road, these same gases are cooled down more efficiently before they reach the turbocharger, which translates into better fuel economy at cruising speed (20 percent better, according to Volkswagen).

The additional power reserves serve at the same time to give this unique saloon outstanding supremacy under all conditions, the reduction of engine speed at a steady level of road speed improving not only the standard of effi ciency, but also the running smoothness of the combustion engine.

IMO this inconsistent behaviour, for the same driver input, in the same driver selected mode, on the same section of a road, and with the same initial speed, is not acceptable.

The same holds true for wind and road noise at highway speeds.

This variable ratio steering rack is designed to increase the agility of the Focus ST on winding roads yet still inspire the same high - speed confidence.

The likewise new active multicontour seat offers the same comfort functions and more than lives up to its name: fast piezo valves at the air chambers vary the inflation pressure and volume of the air chambers in the backrest side bolsters depending on the steering angle, lateral acceleration and road speed so as to offer the driver and the front passenger even better support.This active function relieves strain on the musculature and enhances well - being.

Power is channeled to the road via either a standard five - speed manual gearbox, or an automated manual transmission based on the same five - speed manual.

In this power steering system, the force steering the wheels comes from the car's high pressure hydraulic system and is always the same no matter what the road speed is.

I think with the long straights, we may encounter a little of the same issues as at Road America and Le Mans where our top speed may not be good enough.»

It's the same part - time, two - speed system found on other F - 150s, so it includes both 4WD High and 4WD Low ranges, along with the standard RWD setting for on - road driving and the electronic locking rear differential for added off - road traction.

Some wind noise was present at that sort of speed, and the Bridgestone tyres were audible in a high - pitched whine on those same freeways, but not on the sort of coarse - chip bitumen that is a staple of Australian country roads.

Highlights: The biggest Mini uses the same four cylinder as its smaller brethren, which makes it feel just a bit slower on the road, but the availability of a six - speed manual is always welcome.

The Turbo Ultimate model likewise has the same road holding manners as the R - Spec (there's no real difference in spring or shock rates), but the 7 - speed dual clutch transmission provides clean, smooth shifts and there are both paddles and a manual mode on the gear shift to allow you to sequentially select gears.

Same with the height setting, which pulls the car down to earth for high - speed driving or boosts it, via air springs, for driving on rough roads or carrying heavy cargo.

Emphasising the Porsche «track to road» philosophy which has guided the company since its beginnings in 1948, the power unit featured in the new 911 GT3 Cup is largely identical to the production engine in the 911 GT3 RS — and offers the same output of 450 hp and identical maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm.

Unless you push it to extremely dangerous speeds, it will take that same road and make it feel like a walk in the park.

Granted, on the more open stretches of road we mentioned earlier, you will need to work it hard in order to get it up to speed (which isn't something you can say to the same extent about a 1.0 - liter turbocharged Ford Fiesta), but the outputs are more than fine for pootling about traffic in.
