Cars with petrol engines:

The 4-cylinder: 4500 rpm, 150 km/h
The 6-cylinder: 4500 rpm, 160 km/h

Cars with diesel engines: 3500 rpm, 150 km/h

Do not allow pressing of a pedal of an accelerator before the situation corresponding to full opening of a butterfly valve or the mode of the maximum acceleration.

After run of the first 2000 km it is possible to increase turns and speed gradually.

Brake system


Optimum extra earnings and the perception of loadings is reached by brake shoes and disks only after the run making about 500 km.
