Rototest Dyno Upgrade Arrived

[TDIPLC]

We are pleased to announce the commissioning of an upgrade to our Rototest chassis dynamometer.

Among improvements to the functionallity of the machine, we now have the following new capabilities:
1. The ability to simulate real life road conditions which take into account factors such as the drag co-efficient, vehicle mass, rolling friction, frontal area etc to enable accurate top speed runs and acceleration rates to be measured.

2. The performance capacity has been increased to:
Two wheel drive:
+ Continuous steady state braking power 1475hp
+ Continuous steady state braking torque 4600Nm
+Top speed 251 mph
+Torque measuring accuracy +/- 1%
Four wheel drive:
+ Continuous steady state braking power 1459hp to 2205hp (depending on transmission torque split)
+ Continuous steady state braking torque 2950Nm to 6600Nm (depending on transmission torque split)
+Top speed 205 mph
+Torque measuring accuracy +/- 1%

Please note the maximum braking power and torque is substantially increased when testing in "sweep" mode.

Sorry, I don't know how to post pictures on here so please take a look at http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/for...=0&#entry28219

About time too

I know how long you guys have been waiting so it must be great to finally have this.

Unfortunately can't see the pics on WIM forum as have to be logged in. Email them to me if you like and i'll post them up.

Hi Martin,

Yes, we have been waiting for over a year

Aparently a prominent US race team ordered five units so we got pushed to the back of the queue,

Please PM me your email address so that I can forward some pics.

Thanks and best regards
