Nothing realy new in the press kit.

kerb weight = 1425 INCLUDING 75kg for the driver. Thats my weight, how'd they guess?

MarkW 06-12-2003 07:56 AM

1420kg - 75kg = 1345kg Curb Weight.

Not bad, but 45kg over the estimated 1300kg that was quoted ages ago.

Also interesting to not it says Fuel is 95 RON Unleaded. I wonder if any better performance would be acheived with 97/98RON?

MarkW -

Traditionally rotaries use low octane fuel due to the burn characteristics.
They used to require 2star , laterly unleaded.
No surprise that 95octane is the requirement.

There must be a reason - suspect that 98 octane may actually hurt performance...
Like I say , all due to burn characteristics in the long narrow combustion chamber.

(I think in some countries they run their rotaries on 90 octane)

Thats good news for me as I currently have to buy 97/98RON Super. so I will be saving around 5p/litre :D

morganrogers 06-13-2003 01:44 AM

Me too !

Although RX will be thirsier than typeR , the fuel price brings it much closer.....
Hoping to come out only slightly worse off fuel wise.
