Betrachtet man mal die Beschleunigung angesichts dessen was der Tacho maximal hergibt, ist das wirklich eine sensationale Qualität!

Aber mit dem Auto nicht zu vergleichen. Autos heutiger Zeit die auf dem Tacho bis 180 in Zahl gehen, kratzen schon ab 130 km/h und der da zieht bis 170 km/h als ständen 220 auf dem Tacho.

Those are 95 strong horses! This engine must have been a little bit underrated. It's performing more like I'd expect from 110 PS.
