Most cars read intentially high - BMW being a noteable exception - to help protect drivers licenses.

Hello,

Usually i shift my 1.4 manually because Hong Kong is a city full of slopes. But last night my left hand was busy so that i let the car shift itself in Sport mode. While i was gunning it back home, i noticed that the dualogic gearbox more than once chose to upshift way beyond the 6,000 redline mark; more like 6,800-7,000rpm.

Was i delusional? The exhaust note sounded badass. What is the realistic redline of the engine under proper working temperature?

Regards

Quick check this morning - speedo is approx. 10% high compared to GPS indicated speed,

i.e:

- 27mph shown as 30
- 36mph shown as 40
- 55mph shown as 60

Rev counter may be similarly calibrated.
