T5 electronically limited?
Anyone know if the S40/P1 cars are electronically limited to 149mph?
I'm trying to work out why the 217bhp 2.5T Mondeo has a listed as having a top speed of 150mph, whereas my slightly lighter 227bhp S40 T5 is listed as 149mph. Also, the newer V40 T5 geartronic (254bhp) is also listed as 149mph top speed. Appreciate these cars are low pressure turbos, but you'd think 254bhp would be enough for 155mph. Do stage 1 remaps hit that speed? |

Must be as the older 240bhp T5's like my lot are electronically limited to 155 mph.
You would need to request a top speed de-limit at the time of the remap as a normal remap would not include a de-limit.

its 155mhp though, not 149. TBH I dont think it would go that much more even with S1... BTW Mondeo ST uses 3.0 V6 to my knowledge, I think it pulls a bit differently than our 5pot LPT

Re the mondeo, the later Mk4 version (they didn't make an ST) has Volvos 2.5 T engine in 217bhp form. As does the S-Max and the Kuga (although that get the 197bhp version, same as the S80). Last edited by T5R92011; Oct 23rd, 2018 at 11:22. |

on a sidenote - I would like to hear someone confirming our T5 hitting that 250limiter on Autobahn or something, I wonder if it feels like it could go a bit higher o is it really the restriction "as per manufacturer's agreement". I get that M3 is restricted etc, but T5? seem like overkill

that's why a 1000 bhp formula 1 car with 600 kg of weight can "only" do just over 200 mph, If you took the wings off , probably 300+ mph but it would not be stable of course .

Are you suggesting our P1's are fat comparing to "sleek Mondeo ST" ?

Hit 155 on the auto bahn swiftly with a full car and could probably go up a bit more, but too fast for me so took my foot off.
