Not Brian Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Any of you nerds know why the rpms seem to raise in steps? Mallard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Seems like normal (albeit fast) upshifting to me.. I LOVE the Zonda R, btw. Super Car + Track Version + LeMans Prototype inspiration = Lust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Engine speed raises in steps? When? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Any of you nerds know why the rpms seem to raise in steps? Mallard? Pissed off engine with an insanely fast shifting gear box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Any of you nerds know why the rpms seem to raise in steps? Mallard? Are you referring to the launch out of the pits or when he's accelerating out of the corners on the track? EDIT: Watched it again. Nurkvinny is right.

Not Brian Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It's while he's accelerating in the same gear.. it sounds like the engine is "stepping" up in rpms at some parts, most noticeably at the 1:09 and 1:46 exits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think you are hearing an oscillation in the RPM's due to the tires slipping. Probably traction control controlling torque, assuming this car has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah, I can hear it better now at home (I watched it at work earlier). It may be the transmission bouncing around a bit in lower gears too. Anyway, cool vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hmmm, and all this time I thought they were turbochaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hmmm, and all this time I thought they were turbochaged. Zonda isn't but the Huayra is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMrWes Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Too bad they can't be licensed in the United States and too bad I can't afford one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
