Yes a few of us have noticed that too. So the bhp it produces (whatever that is) it does with boost rather than spinning the engine fast.

Which brings us back to the MPG conundrum. Doesn't rev high, has a high top speed so must be slippery, so should use little fuel. But it doesn't. Odd.

Need to see the torque curve.

Pretty much the same for the Ferrari 488. It red lines at 7000. If you have driven higher rpm red line cars (especially with paddle shift) you will need to learn on how to shift the car. It is very different than a higher RPM like 9000. Plus if it is as they say, it comes on strong and very very fast. I never hit the rev limiter so many times until the first time out in the 488 as I was not used to such a low redline and the sheer torque of the car. The 488 pulls like a freight train!!

I see 275 miles to empty on about 7/8 of a tank, if those are real numbers showing on the dash.

The range would then be better than my '05 GT!

Where is that picture from? Wow!! Authentic?

Yes, that is legit.

If that is the speed they have been testing fuel economy at it explains everything!

This car is such a beast. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Where does it say that? Looks like the animation short-shifted before a 7K redline.

Not sure what I think about the "redline" brightening as the revs get closer to redline.

23 pounds of boost isn't too shabby either!!!

 

[Specracer]

It didnt, was just the biggest number I saw.

I wonder how often miles to empty updates, my guess at that speed it might read 4-6
