[JEBar]

I spoke to one of the road reps today 11/16 here in New Orleans, he said dyno testing starts tomorrow, should get some news in a few days.

very good to hear .... we all most certainly hope the testing goes exceptionally well

By the way the P4 looks great, everything I hope it to be.

Great news and glad you liked the P4. There is nothing like seeing it in person.

Hoorah Elio Motors!

Wjdom,

Did the rep say where the dyno testing was happening? There was a question earlier about whether it was happening in their Michigan facility. Did the rep say anything else???

BTW - terrific for sharing. Thanks!

I didn't ask where it was being tested. There was not much more to talk about, after 3 months of reading every word written about the car I could have probably schooled him, as most of our members could. Until Elio releases some thing new we are just going to have to wait, but we do have this site to keep it interesting. I was just happy to finally get to sit in it. Only about a year to go before I can sit in mine......

Congrats on getting to see the P4. Hopefully I'll get my chance at the end of the week.

Does any one know how much time it takes to test a new design engine, from first dyno run to released for production?

 

[Truett Collins]

Depends on what they find in the test.....

You need to ask IAV that question. The only thing I know is, they plan to "run it to destruction." Best way to find a weakness.

KRAZY NUMBERS!!

Just an Idea. I know they won’t run at a constant speed.
I just picked some numbers to play with.

2500 RPM = 55 mph, To go 100k miles
100k/55 = 1818.18 hours to go 100k miles
1818.18/24 hours = 75.75 days to go 100K miles
2500 X 60 = 150K Revs. /Hr x 1818.18 Hr. = 277.727 million revolutions

None of this is real!!! Just for fun
Just to say it will be a while before we hear something. There are ways to accelerate this.
