If the real power figures are higher than the published, what i think is very likely, then the estimated rpm would also be higher if you look at my calculations above. Probably pretty close to the 10400 rpm that the second guess gave from the frequency analysis.

silente, how did you calculate the power?

I did some calculations on my own for the Audi by looking at the published telemetry data from onboard videos (speed vs. time) and the topspeed and estimated the wheel power from that as

P_wheel = ( mass x acceleration + drag ) x speed.

This estimation showed me a maximum combustion engine power at the wheels of ~560hp and a maximum combined wheel power (combustion + electric) of ~750hp. The electric power was used up to ~258km/h.

What do think of these numbers?
