well when your country has an underpopulated desert, whats the most efficient way to draw a road in a flat desert to the next city? Certainly not winding roads.
I wonder what will be the top speed on my dual pulley tuned sq5? My area Hwy's are always busy plus radars in every direction! I guess will probably do 300km/h
@@michaelcorona817 Depending on the tuner, you should see a 40hp increase. The best is to upgrade the pulley as well and that will double the gain., even with the smallest pulley increase so you don't need to upgrade cooling
@@universeu7289 Not true, cooling upgrade is absolutely necessary. Check APR's website for data on consecutive pulls. On the very first run, the car will pull power near redline, and by the 6th run it's pulling out 140HP. Cooling upgrade should go along with stage 1 Tune or you're losing tons of power right out of the gate.
VN Yes, it is. It is a double-clutch AUTOMATIC 8-speed transmission. There is a reason the shifting is so insanely fast. My mom just got one and it makes the 5-Speed auto in my SRT-8 seem like a dinosaur shifting speed wise.
ShityDurPirate Not a dual-clutch transmission. It is an 8-speed automatic transmission though: www.zf.com/corporate/en/products/product_range/cars/cars_8_speed_automatic_transmission.shtml Note how there is a distinction made between regular automatic transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions: www.zf.com/corporate/en/products/product_range/cars/finder.html#finder=64__65
If it is the ZF-8 then that is the same they are putting in all the Chrysler products including the SRTs, weird. I thought AUDI would have used something higher-end, but it is regardless a fantastic step forward. Does make a V6 300 feel like a V-8 when comparing the 5 speed (older auto) to the 8-Speed.
It is the 8 speed ZF. The only thing that's really shared with the Chrysler transmissions are the internals though. The transmission management and tuning is completely different. The ZF in the SQ5 also shifts much harder than the same ZF 8 speed in the standard Q5, for example.
Motor Trend tested this car from 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds. How is that even possible? Not a chance. 5.5 seconds like this video is more like it. See for yourself: www.motortrend.com/cars/audi/sq5/2015/2015-audi-sq5-first-test/
