    Roadster S

     

    P1
    Brief test of the Roadster S with comparisons to earlier tests with the Z4 3.0 and Z3M Roadster. A number of interesting technical details are mentioned including the statement that the rev limiter in second gear is set slightly higher to be able to achieve 100kph in a slightly faster time (equal to the Z3M Roadster).

    The Roadster S is especially complimented for the cruising ability due to the massive torque. Also, the fuel consumption is lower than that of the Z4 3.0 in an earlier test.
