Lancer new top speed - 270kmh

Lancer Nation was informed that there has been a rumour or hearsay that a Lancer (4B11) variant has clocked 270kmh. It has indeed caused some disbelief to some and hope to others. Is it true that a Lancer can reach 270kmh, notwithstanding that it could be the Lancer Evolution? The answer is a yes and a no. We have to ask and analyse what is the minimum flywheel bhp needed to reach 270kmh? 230bhp to be exact. We know from experience that achieving 230 flywheel bhp is not a problem, provided that the route taken is via forced induction, either by way of supercharging or by way of turbo charging (as of the time of this post).

Why is it a "No" on one hand
If the vehicle forced induced is of the CVT variant, then the answer is no since the CVT and especially more so, the CVT belt is unable to handle the number of revolutions is has to make. We have a live example of a forced induced CVT variant Lancer that produced 230 flywheel bhp and 300Nm. The CVT in that vehicle did not exceed 238kmh and the CVT got into a bit of mechanical problem.

Why is it a "yes" on the other hand
If the vehicle forced induced is of the Manual Transmission variant, then it is more than likely to achieve 270kmh. If however, there was a transmission swap, one had to additionally change the ECU and upgrade the valve train for longevity.

However, as of the time of this post, there has been no realiable and tangible proof of a 270kmh Lancer (4B11) variant from any part of the globe.Until then, its just a rumour.

dony, pure bullshit, whyy bother to it?

It's damn funny for someone claiming such dubious figures on a LGT ma.. Hahaha...

TBH, i would say even EvoX would have difficulty to reach that figure.

some said RSM installed in the car so thats why can tell 270kmh.

RSM has top speed memory, lets show then.

HOWEVER IF YOU REALLY WISH TO ACHIEVE 270KMH WITH A YOUTUBE PROOF OF THE FEAT, HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT.

1) Obtain a 14 inch rim with 5 x 114.3
2) Put on tyres that measure 165 X 45 X 14

The car's height would be by lowered 3 inchs. A typical Lancer on stock rims would be able to hit 210kmh easily. With the new rims setup, that 210kmh would be translated to 270kmh.

The rules can be BENT.

I don't give a shit. Anyone here gives a shit?

I have a confession to make..............i think tis is the time.

Apa confession GuyM? Come, spill the beans.. hehehe..
