What is the top speed of the yaris?

Because I was running a smaller than standard tire, the speedometer read a bit optimistic (200kph or 124mph).

Stands to reason that if I used a larger tire, I might be able to raise the real max speed a bit.

However at this speed, the engine is pretty much close to the redline cutoff, so I would say that is all the car would do given this combination of engine and gearbox.

Nope...going larger in the tire DECREASES torque at the front driving wheels...you will lose speed.

I freak a lot of people out. It;s a fast little car.

You're right about decreasing torque. But you're wrong about losing speed.

A smaller tire buys you acceleration at the expense of speed. A larger tire trades acceleration for better speed.

So by using a larger tire, I would be a tad slower to get to 60mph but I can hit a higher V-max before I run out of engine revs.

+1 ... think of it this way... we have more torque to the wheels in 1st gear, but we have a higher top speed in 5th ... larger tires raise the over all gear ratio

Pavel Olavich was probably assuming that the top speed is drag limited... which doesnt seem to be the case...

My Yaris 1.3U-L with CVT transmission:182.8km/h(S/D mode) 190.68km/h(D mode) 2004-made SCP13(previous generation).
According to the rumour,the European editions of both current and previous generation Yaris with 2SZ-FE 1296cc engine,can go up to 126/127mph(about 204km/h);if they are manual versions! This data is well above its manufacturer data of 109mph(175km/h).
Along with it,Youtube shows a previous generation Yaris 1.3 indicates 199km/h on its digital speedo,while its tachometer shows 6100rpm,thus it would mark up to 203.74km/h!!!!(33.4km/h per 1000rpm on 5th gear;multiplying 6.1 to 33.4km/h results 203.74km/h! Let's calculate it.) This number of max speed is about as fast as that of the Volvo S60 2.4(140ps) and the Renault Megane II 2.0(133ps), so the 1.3-liter version Yaris(87ps) would be a kind of giant-killer!

When it’s stock there’s an iffy spot about the 90’s but once you kill the 90’s it goes away. With the rear sway bar I didn’t get the iffy spot. Both times I thought I would put a hole in the carpet trying to get it to go faster.

[IllusionX]

oh.. 200+ kmh was the faster ever reached in a Yaris.

I'm still breaking in my engine. I haven't gone over 65mph yet! haha.

[kenkyd]

ever since i put my yarisworld sticker on my car i can do 150 no problem

So how fast will it go in reverse?

It'll do 200 falling from an airplane.

Should hit 220 or their abouts dropped from an airplane. Max terminal air speed that can be attained. LOL

If he made a new thread your response would be - "Use the search function, there's already a topic on this"

I think it would just be easiest to have everyone check with you before posting anything....

now how bout you go back to your business and stop talking bs about things you have no clue about aight.

I'll take your hostility as a sign you know I'm right

You're thinking of max terminal airspeed for a human body at near ground altitudes. Terminal airspeed for other objects depends on their ballistic coefficient, determined by mass density and shape, and air density. Heavy bombs can and do fall at supersonic speed when dropped from high altitudes. For that matter, a human dropping from a balloon in the rarified upper atmosphere can briefly go supersonic.

Don't know how fast a Yaris would fall if you dropped it out of a plane, but I'd bet 200 MPH wouldn't be way off.

[Bredayaris]

I've driven 196 km/h (122 mph) at the German autobahn with my diesel Yaris.
It was still going but i saw warning lights ahead so stepped on the brakes.

A Opel Corsa cdti tried to go fast too but when i was going 170 km/h it stayed way back.

depends how steep the hill is....
