Hartge pushes the Bmw M3 to 211 mph!

For those of you who are eager for high level of adrenaline and high speeds you can have your dream come true. If you’re driving a BMW M3 (E90, E92 or the E93), HARTAGE is the key to an unlimited to speed.

They found a solution to remove the top speed of the M3 using a reprogrammed ECU from OBD, which can take your ride up to 340 km/h or 291 km/h. Be aware though, if you choose to make this upgrade of power, you need to change you tires too. HARTAGE comes again with a solution in that sense, they can offer in package a set of Pirelli P ZERO tires that can perform at high speeds such as 340km/h (211 mph).

what else did they do to the car? Or are they saying it hits 211mph just by removing the governor? That's hard to believe, though I know the M5 and M6 can do over 200mph with the governor off.

There must be performance upgrades as well. A LP670 does 211 with 661hp.

Did he push it over a cliff or was there a 20 mph tailwind.

well seeing how the lp670 has more than 50% more than the e92 m3, it's safe to say that it has 50% more force at any given velocity. (power = speed x force) if they're both capable of achieving 211mph, the e92 m3 must have drag advantage over the murcielago. supposedly the frontal surface area of the murcielago is 2058mm (width) x 1135mm (height) = 2.34 meters squared. whereas the m3 supposedly has 2.58 meters squared. which means the m3 has 10% more area than the murcielago. it's also proposed that the m3 has 14% less drag than the lambo. since Fd = -(1/2)pv^2ACdv, the m3 has theoretically 4% less drag force at any given speed. so i'd conclude that there's gotta be performance upgrades. and it's gotta be about 100mph tailwind in order for the m3 to match the drag force without any tailwind of the lambo.

also the terminal velocity of the m3 being pushed off the cliff would be 190kph, which is 117mph. and the cliff would be approximately 1843 meters high and it would take approximately 19 seconds, higher and longer after taking into consideration of drag force.

And the dodge challenger would be less as it has the aerodynamics of a brick.

ooooops, terminal velocity of the m3 is actually 190m/s, which equates to 684.3kph or 424.25mph. the cliff would have to be 456 meters for the m3 to reach 211mph in 9.6 seconds.

since the power required to overcome drag = (1/2)pv^3*ACd. the m3 would require a little more than 500hp to reach 211mph, assuming 0.29 drag coefficient, 1.2kg/m^3 of air density at sea level at 68F, and 2.58 meter frontal area.

Ja ja ..finaly good comments...
