'quanta for Lexus RX 450h'

Here's the math I came up with for the Lexus variant.
I'll show all steps:
* 10,500 rpm @ motor divided by 6.86:1 differential gear set = 1530.6 rpm @ half-shaft, CV-joints, and wheel hub.
* The LEXUS P235 / 55R 18 tires:
- @ 55% aspect ratio = 129.25mm tire section height
- Revolved around the wheel bead surface = 258.5mm added to create the tire diameter
- equaling 715.7mm Diameter
- divided by 25.4 = 28.17716-inches
- multiplied by pi = 88.52117-inch static circumference
- divided by 12.0 = 7.3767-linear feet per revolution
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* @ 1530.6 rpm times 60 = 91,836 revolutions / hour
* times 7.3767 surface-feet / revolution = 677,446.62- feet / hour
* divided by 5,280 = 128.3-mph ( geared )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The RX 450h is electronically-limited to 93-mph ( 149.669-km/h ):
- 1109.4 rpm @ axle
- 7,610.4 rpm @ motor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The LEXUS may 'do' only 35-mph as EV-only, while simultaneously being capable of 'boosting' to the 93-mph top speed.
* The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, AWD hybrid provides for up to 4-miles range, at up to 45-mph, in the EV-only 'STEALTH' mode, while providing pulling power up to 150-mph ( 241.4 km/h ), @ 18,500-rpm.
* The 2013 VW Jetta hybrid Bonneville land speed record car provided electric boost up to 187.147-mph ( 304.94 km/h )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So we might think of these electric packages as 'dual-purpose'
I think the Toyota MGR unit would be great for projects!
I originally blew the thread off, as soon as I read 'Hot-Rodding'.
