Are you *sure* that it makes its peak power at 5250rpm? It'd be about the highest revving diesel engine in the entire world if it did. Some other production models have their peak closer to what's stated as the upper bound of the torque plateau, here... |

Is it a 4-speed (with the ever-so-vague "overdrive in 4th" - does that simply mean an e.g. 1:0.891 4th gear, like in my old VW (a fairly meaningless statement given that you could be comparing a car with that primary gear and a 4.267 differential vs one with a 1:1 or 1:1.1 top primary gear but a 3.75 or 3.43 diff?), or that an actual overdrive-capable differential is installed and it effectively has 5 or more gears?), or does it have infinitely variable transmission that, for reasons not so well explained, makes it very easy to park? Or is one added on top of the other, which seems a bit inefficient? |

Wow, so many problems with this...
How do we add one of those "needs serious clean up" boxes to the top of it again? It looks like someone's basically copy-and-pasted the Nano page and changed a few small details - and inconsistently. I'd like to do it myself, but unfortunately I don't have access to the original source info.
So, anyway... is it a 35hp car, or a 66?

Arrrgh.
Never mind that in much of these articles the talk is of it being less efficient than the original Nano. Really? A 1200cc diesel engine with an IVT and sub-90g per km emissions (beaten only by the 900cc Smart Diesel, at the moment) being less efficient than something pushed along by a probably motorcycle derived (or maybe just taken from the old 1970s/80s Fiat 126?) 600cc petrol with a 4-speed? I think the jury's going to be out on that one. I'm thinking more along the lines of 80+ mpg (imp) vs the original's 50-60ish.
I bet all the supplier info, weight, dimensions, etc is probably wrong as well. 77.102.101.220 (talk) 20:03, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
