Top end is down to gearing. The size of the turbo just determines how close you can get to it  :happy2:

A quick search on ooootoob found this Revo Stg 2+ S3 doing an indicated 285kmh (178mph)



The speedo generally won't be that far out. My Octy at an indicated 160mph was registering 154mph on GPS so i would imagine that S3 is registering around the 170mph mark on GPS. The thing to note here though is how quick it gets there it's less than 90 secs.

The two s3's at 30-130 where reading out by about 15mph. Interesting the faster the car went on the speedo, the more it was out on the v-box. My TTRS at indicated 180mph read 170mph on the vbox.

Right well I've just been shown a picture of a APR k04 doing 180 indicated ok the autobahn and the driver says it had more in it!

I think marham must have just had alot of wind against us that day.

Comparing a top speed run on the Autobahn to the Vmax speed reached at Marham on the 30-130 day is like comparing apples with marsh-mellows..  :stupid:

An autobahn run can go on for as long as the engine holds out (traffic dependent) or until a long enough down hill stretch is found. Marham's runway is 1.6 miles long and that includes the braking area AND a good 1/4 mile is missed when entering the runway/starting area at 30mph. I would say the actual running area before braking is just over a mile. Now compare that with Carl's 4 mile run on the autobahn on a different day in different conditions and tell me they are even in the same category..?


My mates S2+ S3 made 158mph at this years 30-130mph.. This was the same result for 2 S2+ S3's the year before..

Did he say he could have got more?

Was it DSG?


It's was a manual mate and without the weather cutting the day short I dare say another 1-2 mph would of been possible with a few more brave pills, but that would be about it..

The question asked was what the top speed was though for a S3 at Stg2+ Not top speed at Marham or any other track/circuit/runway. I'm not disputing what can be achieved at Marham. I was merely pointing out that a Stg 2+ S3 could go faster than 160mph.

This is what I was answering.

^^^^^ wow!

Has anyone actuallymeasured the top speed of a stage 2+ s3. at that sort of speed it must be terrifying  :scared:

My stage 1 ed30 managed an indicated 174mph on the autobahn so I'd imagine a stage 2+ S3 should achieve at least that depending on how high the final drive ratio will let you go?  :smiley:

That wasn't directly aimed at you Carl, I just mentioned your run as people seem to be making a comparison with that and Marham results, when in fact they couldn't be more different..

Looking at his rev counter he was in the redline.
I don't think the DSG box would allow that (as it will change automatically in the lower gears), but then again, not sure what it would allow in top gear as I've never taken it there  :signLOL:

He may have a S-Tronic/DSG map (more than likely with it redlining)

Unfortunately there is no DSG map apparently for cars older than 2008  :confused:

I thought it was the other way round. There is no DSG map for my 2011 car, well Shark apparently can but I haven't heard of anyone else doing it yet. REVO/APR/GIAC all said no when I asked a few months ago.

Different car now Mike. I don't think the tarmac on UK roads could handle the downforce, grip and speed if i did  :evilgrin:

Carl, trust me when I say shark can't do the dsg map either if they have told you so it is misguided info as they can't. The only people who can do a full on proper dsg stage 3 remap is hap motorsports in the states, on all new models. I know this as I have been looking into it for months and have to send them my mechatronics unit over for them to do this, which is being done as we speak. Hope this helps. :happy2:
