[QUOTE="1975DCS, post: 61411, member: 626"] Have there been any acceleration tests from magazines? Yesterday I was trying out some top speed on a 2 km free road (before breaking area) and despite the decent rolling road tests the Twingo RS struggled to get past 190 km/h (on my TomTom V3) and 6.200/6.300 rpm. Basically it seems very decent up to 7.000 rpm in 4th gear, but once you hit 5th gear it goes slowly to 190 km/h. Are you experiencing the same? Are there also magazines that tested this? I did found an article from South Africa where the tester struggled to get past 178 km/h which seems even worse! Given the power of around 136-137 bhp you would expect at least an easy 6.750 rpm in 5th gear and 200 km/h? [/QUOTE]
