Cayenne donk with 281kW and 850Nm, now just to keep my eyes peeled for a stacked one :trink13:

A mate has a TD42 with aftermarket turbo on his gq Ute that has over 1000Nm torque:-)

Tap, crackle, pop

At the flywheel?

[taslucas]

At the wheels! I think it was with 35s as he had them before the 37s. The turbo sounds like a low flying jet lol

Benny boy has 1600nm at the wheels and 190 hp on 35's or something like that ask him

[BearGUST]

Exactly, at the wheels is a different story! Torque is multiplied by the gearing.

...., I reckon 1600 at the wheels would have to beat 850 at the flywheel

[BearGUST]

Yeah, that's good going! But 281kW has it covered nicely, and achieves 8.3 l/100km in the Porsche.

[taslucas]

And it needs super high cost regular servicing and would be lucky to crack 300,000 kms.

Clearly you don't want one but I'll still have one that falls off the back of a truck!

Be careful hear people. Ben-e-boy and probably the above 1000 nm are measured in tractive effort which is completely different to newton metres of torque. Matt from UFI has one making around the 800nm at I think around 230hp

Ok I want one in my GU...should bolt straight in ....hahahahhhaha

This explains it pretty well.

Tractive effort and torque doesn't really matter when in said in the same sentence as FORD.

All I got from reading that was fords are still crap *LMAO*

Meh! Porsche, a girls car....Just come around where I live. All the mums drive them, X5's, X6's, A4's, A5's, A6's anything Euro they drive it...

[BearGUST]

Plenty around here too, turbo diesel V8's have a pretty nice note!

[mudski]

I must admit though, one of the mums pulled up at school in her new black AMG ML63. I didn't kinda get a bit firm in the nether regions when I saw and heard it.
