Hi guys,

Might be a silly question but what revs should my 170 GT be doing when on the motorway doing 70-80mph? i'm coming from a BMW 118d (143bhp) but the Rocco seems to be louder and rev higher at motorway cruising speeds? Might just be all in my head though.

Hi there,

Mine sits at about 2400rpm at 80mph in 6th on an auto box. Don't think yours being manual will make a difference.

I've got a 170GT manual and at 80mph it's somewhere between 2k.amd 2,5k. I think it's.around 35mph/1,000rpm in 6th
