FAQ[]

  • How is 'Top speed' different from 'Speed, Road'?

Top speed, in most cases, is the absolute fastest the vehicle could go under perfect conditions (brand new vehicle on a dry, smooth road). Road speed is the highest speed you would see the vehicle doing under normal circumstances.

Pronounciation[]

ß -This is an eszett, or sharp s. It is pronounced 'sz'.

Umlauts -These are two little dots that appear above some vowels (ä, ö, and ü). When a vowel has an umlaut, it is pronounced as if it was followed by an e. Example, Panzerjäger, pronounced Panzerjaeger.
