Point is, we don't know. There could be plenty of reasons we see what we see in this video, so I'll just patiently wait for those specs to be released. |

This has some much better vision for spitballing. Early at where you have posted, and also at 2:29 it shows 4th at the rev limit doing 174kph.
First thing I've noticed is that it matches the OG 4.1 Final drive fairly close (actually more like 4.2). BUT should we consider there being a difference between reported speed and real speed, as per automotive regulations dictating that all cars must report under the real speed. If that is the case then a final drive could very well be the current and outgoing 4.3. But as its a testing car potentially they have a special version of the speed readout that is 100% accurate. Of course its all under the assumption that they haven't changed the gear ratios themselves. What I think is fairly clear though is that its going to be pretty much in the ballpark of the current car. |

Thanks for spotting that!
The video is 24 fps, and each km/h number stays on for 6 frames, so it looks very much like a 4 Hz refresh rate. And that's the TRACK mode Quote:

The current gen already very close to the real (GPS) speed, and I can't imagine why the new gen would be much worse. We're also not talking about a Koenigsegg with bespoke transmission and final drive here. I don't think they would spend too much time fine-tuning individual gear ratios, etc. I'm pretty sure if they slap the '13 gears and final drive on the car with the same weight as '13 and 2.4L engine, it would be good enough in their opinion. So if the 4th gear looks like it matches the '13 FD, then I'm just going to assume the gearing is the same as the '13-'16 gearing — until we have solid data about all the gears. |

Australia - The speedo must not indicate a speed less than the vehicle’s true speed or a speed greater than the vehicle’s true speed by an amount more than 10 percent plus 4 km/h. USA - must be equipped with a speedometer indicating vehicle speed in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour. The speedometer must be accurate to within plus or minus 8 km/hr (5 mph) at a speed of 80 km/hr (50 mph). Europe - no speedometer can read slower than the actual speed. Ever. On the high side, it's allowed to read up to 10% above the actual speed plus four or six kilometers per hour, depending on the type of vehicle. Canada - In Canada, Transport Canada doesn't have any regulations on speedometer accuracy. LOL WE DON'T CARE!

No no you can not. It is still accurate in the 10ths of a second. This is more than enough for near everybody except the most fanatical of gauge watchers.

I shudder to think how some of the people in this thread could ever have coped with a good old cable driven speedometer, where the needle position was governed by how frequently an off center peg was hitting against the spring loaded needle...
How did we ever survive? Oh the humanities!

Just maintain a consistent speed for a fraction of a second and BAM, you have your answer. :P |

I am amazed at angst over digital speedo refresh rate. Wow. It’s there to make sure you don’t get a speeding ticket. You really shouldn’t be staring at it for long (because that is taking your eyes off the road), and for the quick speed check they are designed for, a normal refresh rate where each number is quickly parsed with a brief glance is better and safer than a faster but unintelligible whirring refresh rate that is useless at anything but a constant speed.
