At 172 m the rpm is around 6300, still more to go. However that is just a glimpse as one really need to concentrate on the road.

This temporary fix is directly from the software developer of the Emira, directly from the factory in Hethel, which I visited. It is only for the intermidient starting failure in connection with the engine warning light. Not for any other issues like infotainment problems and so on. There is a...
