What is the normal RPM at 120 km/h?
1 Answers
120 km/h normally corresponds to an RPM between 2500-3200. Below are the reasons and determining factors for this RPM range at 120 km/h: Reasons for 2500-3200 RPM at 120 km/h: Each vehicle has a different transmission ratio, which results in varying engine RPMs at the same speed. At 120 km/h, some cars may have an engine RPM of 3000, while others may be at 2500, both of which are normal. Generally, for manual transmission cars with an engine displacement below 2.0 liters (excluding trucks and vans), the RPM at 120 km/h is around 3000, with a maximum not exceeding 3200. Determining factors for 2500-3200 RPM at 120 km/h: The engine RPM primarily depends on the gearbox ratio. A higher transmission ratio results in higher RPM, and this has little to do with engine displacement or quality. However, smaller displacement engines typically have higher RPMs at high speeds due to their lower power output, requiring a larger transmission ratio. But this is not a fixed rule.
