What's new
What changed in each version, newest first. The version in your car is in the app, under Settings → Diagnostics.
Rombo 1.2.0
- Performance figures on the Black Rider, V12 and Track hatch dashboards: your 0–100 km/h (or 0–60 mph) time from a standing start, your best run and the top speed. Settings → Video turns them off and clears the best run.
- Sport shifts up sooner: on shorter gears, at about 24, 36 and 52 km/h when you drive normally, still at high revs. Auto is unchanged.
- A new engine, the Inline-five 2.5T: a turbo five with the warble of five cylinders, a turbo whistle and light pops.
- A digital cockpit for the inline-five: a big round rev counter with the speed and the gear inside, a trip panel with the clock, and gauges for the power and the torque the engine makes.
Rombo 1.1.0
- Three new engines: the Track hatch 2.0T, a turbo four with a sharper turbo and loud pops in Sport; a flat-six 3.0; and a V12 6.0.
- A start-up sound: the starter cranks and the engine catches, on every Start.
- Try it without a car: the home page opens the engines in Demo mode, with a throttle pad.
- Engine previews in Settings → Engine, so you can see each dashboard before you choose it.
Rombo 1.0.1
- Sport. Tap Auto next to Start: Rombo holds each gear longer, shifts faster and blips the throttle on every downshift. It remembers your choice. Every car with gears has it.
- Rev it while parked: roll the right scroll wheel and the engine revs, in Auto or in Sport. The music keeps playing.
- A louder, fuller sound, with more low end and a little width. You may want to turn the volume down a notch.
- The dashboard fills the screen when the browser is maximized, the dials out to its edges.
- New defaults on a first visit: the engine name and the logo are off, so the dashboard gets the room (Settings → Video turns them on), and the volume starts at 90%.
Rombo 1.0.0
- The first version: seven engines, from a small turbo four to an electric drive, each with its own sound and its own dashboard.
- Speed in km/h or mph, a light or a dark theme, and this website.
