|  For a change, Try KPH and SHP instead of Kmph and BHP Here is something for the Team-BHPians for a change; A machine can that do a top speed of 70 knots per hour (1 knot = 1.852 kilometer) or roughly 130 kmph and in its normal cruising speed of 50 kph it can leave 50 per cent of Indian cars high and dry. And with a top SHP of 20,070 combined, it is still giving a best “mileage” of 10.51 kmpl. http://www.yachtspotter.com/ycard.php?foo=20050615 Happy Drooling… |

| wow! And add one fact to that speed. It can go in straight line and doesn't need to negotiate bad roads, traffic or winding long routes. It can surely beat most cars. |

| you mean 70 nautical miles an hour or 70 Knots there is no such thing as Knots per hour and do not forget it has 2 x 5435 hp Paxman diesels 1x 9200 hp Lycoming turbine you can not use the information provided such as range and fuel capacity to calculate fuel efficency of a yacht or ship . They normally have dedicated diesel generators onboard for power generation , to run the air conditioning and all the onboard electronics .which consume quite significant amount of fuel it must be bloody hell expensive !

| Knots is Naut. miles / hour. Yes I agree, KPH is something like "National Highway Road" Quote:
How much avrg will it get with the AC off? :-) (I hope GTO is not seeing this after his posts on India's blatant obsession with FE !) Quote:

Spectacularly possibly ugly but yet sexy yachts (i believe they are tested in the ferrari wind tunnell (happy merve? :P ) When you get to the site click on "Power" and then "118 Wallypower". Make sure you look at the pics 1-38 ! Consumes 60Liters per nuatical mile @ 60knots !!! beat that for FE! 16,800HP !!!! It even has a carbon fibre toilet seat to save weight!! (it was featured in Top Gear's episode on the pagani zonda roadster.) Also, if anyone has good, high res pics of the J Class, pleaaaaase send them my way! Thanks, R |

| @Rehan, thnx a lot.. I think I will suffer a cardiac arrest.... @ Merve_Extream...its all horsepower bose... BTW, saw this news item in The Hindu. It is about a new Fast Attack Craft (FAC) built by Garden Reach of Kolkata for our navy. The brief says it has a top speed of 28 knots... http://www.hindu.com/2005/06/29/stor...2903861300.htm LET me admit, I am a zero as far as naval deployement and tactics are concerned, and my knowledge is limited to some Tom Clancy novels. But I wonder whether this FAC is fast enough for interception. Another Puruliya in the making? I hope the Team-BHPians who have more knowldge on a topic like this will enlighten us.
