but without knowing how high the front got lift off, is sort of impossible to really determined the accurate speed.

Imagine your car front lift off with rear still on the ground, panic, pull hand brake. Awkward stop, awesome "landing". Like a jack hammer with front as a head, and rear tire as pivot.
*
no need to be accurate, just need to be lower than a car with 4 wheels on the ground doing braking,.
usually car got 70+% braking force in front.. so if one wheel off, means brakes severly reduced.. hence braking distance should be greater.

anyway math show 50kmh is around 12.3meter.. biggrin.gif

his conclusion seem to agree with stimix assessment just now.. that 2L cars still ahead of preve wor.. despite 9.6seconds rating and turbo power.

inspira also CVT mah.. japung grade different ar? hmm.gif

besides CVT make it have 9.6 seconds rating dun say won't get 9.6 seconds in real life? or at least slower than 2L NA auto ?

had to discount for engine breaking as well.
Go outside watch meteor shower better la. Tonight, 11-5am. Unless you live right smack in the middle of the city.

lost one front wheel braking power, engine braking won't help .. how a differential works will see to that..

(unless it somehow got brake vectoring or limited slip differential)

The tuning of the car jsut failed ler. If say tuned like that for good FC, look at how high the RPM goes just to get the car moving. I dont understand this. U need high torque at lower rpm for better FC

u no see fuelly figures for exora bold meh? like 2.4L car consumption only.. laugh.gif

friend told me VW Passat beat Lexus Hybrid CT200H in a test drive from Bukit Mertajam to Singapore.

Passat reach at Singapore with 1 full tank petrol while Lexus runs out of petrol some where around between Melaka and Johor....

wonder, any car magazine going to do this kind of test???

battery from the hybrid is to store energy lost during start stop city conditions mah.. why go do long distance, high speed range test? hmm.gif

high powered hybrids are really powerful in acceleration, it's super fast cos it can dump all the power and stay there..
look at the power meter on this lexus = 250KW steady.. thumbup.gif

since most of the jap high performance hybrid also very expensive in malaysia due to high CC tax, maybe the new korean hybrid range can do something about it hor. thumbup.gif

if i am not wrong... it's 70 lit vs around 50 lit for CT200H... furthermore, the passat has a more efficient turbocharged motor than the CT200H...

it depends on how lexus configure the electronic motor to kick in on expressways.. but driving at stable speeds... i am not sure if the electric motor is giving assistance to lower fuel consumption... if totally none, then the 1.8L will be straining if driven at speed...
i think car manufacturer are afraid to bring in diesel models due to poor quality diesel in malaysia... i am sure someone will refute this.. but, i think it is generally the reason why and also the lack of interests...

there is a very famous eco friendly VW bluemotion launched in european countries some years ago... but until now never reached our shores...
having to generate that much power means carrying a big battery array which means extra dead weight which is not really good...

yes, electric motor has flat torque unlike petrol motors
.. but an eco hybrid has to balance between power output and consumption... the current  hybrids are only concentrating on energy recovery and using an electric motor to provide assistance to reduce the usage of fossil fuel and generation of co2... else, we all be driving tesla roadsters : )
