yes he did, good to know that over 130 our cars really move. Did you notice a strong Audi bias? Also am I correct an SQ3 is not for sale in USA?
Anyway mildly entertaining
Stay safe

I thought it was pretty funny.. definite Audi Bias. That T-Roc exhaust sounded nice like the X2.. the poor SQ3 didn't sound very good. Pretty neat to see where each gearing/aerodynamics went to play.

The bimmer did ok...

I actually thought before watching the 2 smaller, lighter cars would do much better than X2?

Looks like that extra couple horsepower and 50 torques came in handy.

Did it look the best out there? Of course it did!!

I’m curious if having an 8th gear is what made the x2 pull at 130.

It is a super-tall overdrive gear. IIRC, 6, 7 and 8 are all OD.

Anyone take theirs to that speed and checked the tach/gear indicators?

Just great -- the car is fastest over 130 but I can't even go 130+ in mine because it's governed. Not that I necessarily would, this car gets a little float-y over 110
