While my Speedometer goes to 150. I doubt it could do it(Maybe the engine and tranny could in another car).

Anyone know what it's top speed is? Just wondering as I'll never experience it.

 

If you are brave (fool) enough the car will limit you to 210 Km/Hr or 130 MPH

 

Thanks, No I'm not stupid. The car is too top heavy. If it was a Mustang or Corvette... maybe.

So the extra 20 on the Speedometer is for show.

 

With the aerodynamic of a brick I doubt it will reach 130 MPH but who knows.

I just will not try myself.

 

Maybe. . .

Hmmm...first guy shock his camera alot. Then again... you don't know how much the car itself is shaking/pulling.

 

Actually, it's likely about as top heavy, maybe less than the Mustang, and is definitely less top heavy than almost every sedan.

Outlanders have an Aluminum roof, and are car based. They're designed to have a lower center of gravity than a conventional SUV. But realistically, rollovers are almost non existent with modern designs and traction control systems, even if you do something really stupid, it takes an astounding level of stupid to flip one nowdays.

There's a lot of SUVs nowdays that are far better sports cars than most "sports cars". It's just a matter of the design of them. An X5M will flat out embarrass a Corvette, as would an ML63, Cayenne Turbo, GC SRT8, etc.

Most cars have speedometers that go well in excess of what they're capable of. I suppose half of it is in case someone removes the top speed limiter and puts more power into it. But more likely than not it's a marketing thing, where by having a higher speedometer people will assume it's faster. Look for the new Daewoo SOnic RS to have a 290mph speedometer so that Chevy can sell those pieces of crap here (exaggeration).

 

when i was young and stupid (still am), the outlander did 190km/h with 3 people in the car, it was only at like 6000rpm @ final drive? maybe it could go a bit more but who knows.
