I wouldn't call the 2.0l a slug

Don't get me wrong, what ever you do. Oh, and it isn't 60-100 mph, it is 60-200 km/h (~37-124 mph). Which is quite a long way...

311 bhp and 478nms lol

I've read a few times, that people call the 2.0l petrol a "slug" or "slow" or that it can't pull a hering off of a plate... Well, I decided last night (or yesterday evening) to simply head to the Autobahn...

A little info: this is not shot on UK roads. Nor am I breaking any laws. The Autobahn used is the A27, a local Autobahn between the A7 (Walsrode) and the A1 (Bremer Kreuz). It is shot between the Autobahn junction Verden Aller East and Achim East. The Autobahn has 2 lanes and is after 8 pm basically clear with no other traffic, other than the odd car...

This is a video showing the acceleration between 60 km/h (37.25 mph) and 200 km/h (124 mph). It isn't a slug nor does it struggle... The quality isn't the best, as the camera rattled with the door, but you can see the speedo and revcounter...

You can see it is my car, as I guess the dials aren't that common

Again, do not copy this on public roads in the UK or anywhere else with speedlimits, as this is against the law in nearly all countries on this planet!

A little more power above 4500 rpm would be nice, and I'm working on a legal way to get that

Just thought I'd share

Cool vid, pretty fast for a stock. If you skip between the start and the end you can actually see that the fuel gauge has moved quite a bit for such a short run.

Well, if I had that in my car, it would probably rip in half and the engine would carry on along the road!

Do you mean me? The top is showing my current fuel consumption in l/100 km

xxx l/100 km Akt. Verbrauch

As we work out litres on 100 km, the figure is more active and will show easily up to 99.9l/100 km.
