em,based my own test drive, this baby easy to reach up to 160kmh, since full torque untill 4k rpm,u have enough torque to propel the mpv at that speed without taking consideration the coefficient drag n lift. Its only a little bit slower reaching speed after that,but not that slow. 185kmh easily to reach by anyone, and media test last week mentioned that personally it can go beyond 190kmh coz when one media driven flx se@190kmh, they still cannot overtake bold, and they are still far away infront of flx se@190kmh.
Actually,managed to chat with media delegation when they break for lunch at hyatt.
Chat with media delegations was fun coz they are really friendly, but meeting the pwrtrain engineers, h n t members are really precious moment.
Whether iafm+ or cfe, they really put hard works to it, countless man hours of trial and testing, a lot of constraints they met, but at last,they managed to do it. Some of them just comeback from spain, some from swiss n even some from lotus uk.
Some nice advice from them, never try to modified the engine coz it already been at optimum performance n reliability, need to remember, if u put more power to it, u will reduce the life span of cvt since it can only take max 220nm. 205nm is the safe spot to ensure its reliability and they already test it up to 250k km. Thats why it takes long time for them to launch the engine.
So,wish the best for them.
good if they have tested it until 250K KMActually,managed to chat with media delegation when they break for lunch at hyatt.

this is to ease the worry for those that want to buy this car/FLX SE but kinda curious abt the reliability of the turbo itself and the CVT
