Good point! Oh dear, that's bang up there with the most stupid questions ever asked - I'd had a couple of beers and it didn't occur to me to divided 85mph by 155mph. Bit worried about beer & IQ now.
So it looks like 8th gear at 85mph would be circa 1,900 rpm - no wonder this thing is so bloody ecumenical. Better still, that's smack bang in the sweet spot for torque, so we'll be whipping past anything that's dawdling ... :-)
Bollocks, I need that car now!
