What is the
Supra TT's top speed with the Trac fuse removed? There is some debate on this subject. There are rumors that
180 can be achieved. But by going with the numbers, 168-172mph in stock form seems possible.
What is the Supra
TT's maximum theoretical top speed? Can it exceed 200mph with enough power? Lets find out. The Supra TT with
the 6-speed has a stock engine redline of 6800rpm, and a 6th gear ratio of .79:1, with a rear axle ratio of 3.13:1. Now we
multiply our 6th gear ratio times our rear axle ratio, and we find out our final gear ratio is 2.472:1. Now we divide 6800rpm
by our total gear reduction of 2.472:1 and we find out our rear axles, and therefore wheels are spinning at 2751rpm at 6800
engine rpms.
Now we need to calculate our tire circumference. The rear tires section width it 255mm, and the sidewall's
aspect ratio is .40, so our sidewalls are 102mm. Now, to convert this to inches, we divide this by 25.4, which equal’s
4.015 inches. Now multiply this by two, since we have two sidewalls making up the total diameter, and add the wheel diameter
of 17", and we see a total diameter of 25.031 inches. Now to find out our circumference, we multiply that number times pi
(3.14), and we find out the circumference is 78.59 inches, now divide that by 12 to convert to feet. And we get 6.549 feet
total circumference.
Now multiply our tire's revolving speed, by the tire's outside circumference, and we find that
the tire is covering 18,016 feet per minute, divide that by the 5280 feet in a mile, and we find we are covering 3.412 miles
per minute, now multiply that by the 60 minutes in an hour, and we find we are traveling 204.7miles per hour @ 6800rpm in
6th gear. If the engines redline is increased to 7500rpm, which it often is, because of a higher flowing turbo. Then our maximum
speed would be 225.8mph, given enough power of course.
