sssssh!! I want to surprise people at traffic lights, well after my latest fiasco is over! Also I really really need to get cruise control :wink:

Looks like APR finally released the tune for Amarok.

263 hp at the crank not bad :)

I've heard it's pretty good. RWD, 6 speed. Probably throw in some redline gear oil and get that 0-100 time under 7 seconds.
Also, whats a racelogic?

That would be an estimate because the use a wheel or hub dyno, not an engine dyno.

Have a really good look at the graph & the "report" underneath. It's like a study in confusion when you try & work out what fuel, rpm, etc they are talking about.

As a simple "Will this vehicle go better?" exercise... Hell Yeah!

Racelogic performance box is a GPS based car performance measuring unit. It is quite accurate and most magazines and car reviewers use it to measure vehicle performance.

Yes, since APR Aus uses a hub dyno, its a bit confusing working it all out as nobody knows for sure what the drivetrain losses are ..... 263HP at the crank probably a bit low .... as the 240HP at the wheels = 180kw at the wheels ......

195kw at the hubs was seen before pulling a bit of timing out (to better protect the engine) to land on ~190kw at the hubs. In excess of 430NM at the hubs as well!!

And thanks APR for using a red Amarok on your page ..... :cool:

We knew were up for something amazing when the 1st Beta file made 180kw at the hubs .......

In case anybody was wondering, this is what a Stg1 200+kw 500NM Amarok looks like .....
