4. The tests

The car runs on the dyno in 3rd gear at wide-open throttle from 1500 rpm up to the rev limiter. The report gives the torque and power curves at the shaft in 250 rpm steps, with the peaks marked.

Full throttle from rest up to 200 km/h, for at most 60 seconds. The report gives:

• 0–60 and 0–100 km/h;
• the 402 m (quarter mile) time and the speed at the finish;
• 100–200 km/h;
• the top speed, the gear at 100 km/h and wheel slip.

When the car reaches 200 km/h, the top speed shown is the limit of the test, not the top speed of the car.

• Both tests start with a warm engine, as after a short stop; the coolant temperature at the start is in the report.
• During the pull the car stands still on the rollers, and a fan of the stand blows the radiator and the intercooler. The acceleration run uses the airflow of the moving car.
• The gear, the rpm range and the weather cannot be chosen: every test uses the same procedure.

The report lists the conditions of both runs.
