Rally2 (ex-R5) News

280 Hp is most likely bullshit value

Also the torque peak is probably in reasonably higher rews. The turbo-pressure is too low for such characteristic with so small engine in my opinion.

You’re most probably correct with that. Maybe with a very small turbo the torque peak could be at 2500 Nm (not 400 Nm though) but the engine would choke on higher revs.

Nowadays you can’t rely on anything.

“For all cars used in Rallies and unless the limits imposed by the local authorities are lower, the noise level on the open road must not exceed 103 dB(A) for an engine rotation speed of 3500 rpm for petrol engines and 2500 rpm for diesel engines.”

What the dB(A) is you can read more about here:

3500 rpm for noise measurement is a bit funny for cars like S1600 or S2000 where I believe the idle rpm are around 2500 (maybe somebody can correct me if I'm wrong)

Yeah, but I got the impression this is for normal traffic.

It sounds "nice", the antilag sounds are good. It just needs to be louder and rev more, but I guess this is not the most efficient way for a turbo engine, afterall energy lost as sound is lost energy..
