MPS6 Top Speed

[skyna]

Before I ask that simple question let me make note that I do not condone speeding, negligent driving or the likes and nor do I have any intention of finding out the top speed of my MPS6 unless someone owns a nice, long private road with paramedics on stand by after my car being rigorously checked over etc (not going to happen!)

I've also done a quick search but as speed is involved in the topic, a lot of irrelevant stuff popped up.

Anyway, in discussion with mates, colleagues and the likes they always ask me about my MPS6 - 0-100, power, torque etc and I can always give them a rough answer except for top speed. So does anyone know the top speed of the MPS6? Were they limited and did this vary between European, American and Australian models? Hopefully someone knows, until then I'll just have to leave it as the speedo goes to 280 :P

240km/h it seems!

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply! I wonder if they're limited or whether they just run out of breath. 'Top speed' would probably infer the latter. Not to worry, I won't be getting anywhere near those speeds

" maximum speed is said to be around 240km/h, but from my experience that is a conservative figure."

I'll let you know after work...kidding

It'll hit 240kmph no worries

I think I read somewhere that its 250kmph but I reckon the above is a fair assumption. No chance it will hit 280kmph without work/mods done. 0-100 published figures are wrong. Many folks see 0-100 in the 5 seconds, some have seen under 5. The MPS6 is quicker than the published 6.6 or 6.1 depending on where you look. I guess it depends on tyres, launch and conditions, but 6 seconds should be easily enough to crack.

Power is 190kW and 380Nm torque at the flywheel from factory hard to say what power you're putting out at the wheels and again depends on mods but somewhere around 140kW at the wheels stock.

If you mates ask and they need to know I would say around 240kmph give or take top end. Around 5.5 seconds to the 100 (again, give or take) and just say the stock published power/torque figures unless you have an idea elsewhere or have a dynograph.

Nice! I should have read the second one before posting but that should shut the skyline/commodore blokes up at work :P

If you want to shut them up, tell them the 0-100 figures of a common Superbike, then go buy one *jaw drops*

Dont know about the 6 but the 3 cuts out at 255kph i also know that the faster u go the speedo is more correct! went for a drive out to a mates place/his dad's? and his property has a nice long driveway. ( mind u hearing gravel hit under your car when the tar runs out is not a good sound at 100kph so i now have brakes that work hot )
