Enough torque to break the wheels loose all the way up to highway speeds complemented this instant
acceleration at low rpms.
Electricity from a newly developed 48 Volt battery will help spool them up and thus create lag - free
acceleration at low rpm, in a similar way to the Audi RS5 TDI Concept.
Cons: Middling
acceleration at low RPM; engine is a bit noisy during acceleration; raised - height rear seats can compromise headroom for tall occupants
Not exact matches
Because 99 % of the time I will be within these
RPM ranges, the engine will be producing more horsepower without a lot of noise or fuss, with better engine longevity - the engine will be producing more power
at a
lower RPM hence less engine wear, and finally there is more instant
acceleration when I need to accelerate without having to change down a gear every time, which I would have to do in the peaky engine.
There is little lag
at very
low RPM but you get a healthy shove of
acceleration in the mid-range.
My bike (a KTM Duke 200) has poor

rpm) in every gear, but after 4000
rpm is the
acceleration is normal.
I rated it a 3 on performance only because I wish it had a little better
acceleration and spoiling on the turbo
at lower rpms.
Meanwhile, a twin - scroll turbo ensures that the boost spools up
at low rpm and then carries through to peak
rpm, variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams swells the power curve down
low, and direct fuel injection makes possible a relatively high 10.0:1 compression ratio that helps deliver crisp
acceleration.
NA would also not hit the

Whether carburettors or fuel injection is specified, brake horsepower is well over 300, and with torque in the region of 280 lb ft
at 4500
rpm, the car is endowed with rapid
acceleration from comparatively
low engine revs — a traditional feature of Jaguar racing engines.
So,
at one instant the driver can be enjoying the quiet, fuel - efficient
low rpm of 8th gear, and in the next instant getting maximum
acceleration.
Red - lining

Red - lining
at 7,000
rpm, the engine — part of Honda's next - generation Earth Dreams Technology series — features an advanced new turbocharging system which incorporates Honda's legendary Variable Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) technology to boost
low - end torque while delivering sustained
acceleration.
Mercedes - Benz says peak torque occurs
at a
low 1,300
rpm, but the turbo takes a while to spool up, so the
acceleration feels sluggish.
The Lotus Europa S achieves around 90 % of its maximum torque
at only 2000
rpm to give «super car» levels of
acceleration from
low engine speeds, propelling the car from 0 -96 km / h (60 mph) in around 5.5 seconds, and 160 km / h (100 mph) in around 14 seconds.
Its smooth shifts come more quickly, helping
acceleration, and it lets the engine turn
at a
lower rpm on the highway, giving it the same fuel economy as the Ford F - 150's 3.5 - liter EcoBoost engine.
Titanium valves, ultra — light weight rocker arms with a diamond — like coating and a fully integrated
lower crankcase that reduces pumping losses
at high
RPMs combine to provide the driver with overwhelming
acceleration right up to the 9,000
rpm redline.
This Ti - VCT engine, delivering
at least 280 horsepower and E85 compatibility, is mated to a unique six - speed automatic transmission that combines
lowered initial gears for improved off - the - line
acceleration and higher gearing for improved efficiency
at lower engine
rpm when cruising.
He described the ride as «electrifying» and «thrilling», and was particularly impressed
at the lack of engine noise and great
acceleration (electric motors generate lots of torque from very
low RPM).
Some of the key principles of Eco-Driving are: • Maintain engine speeds between 1200 — 3000 rotations per minute (
RPM); • Change to higher gears between 2000 — 2500
RPM, and drive in top gears
at lower speeds — the so - called «50 in 4th gear» driving style; • Try to anticipate more to avoid strong
accelerations, decelerations, overtaking or aggressive driving; • Driving
at speed limits and avoiding high speeds; • Add 10 % to standard tyre pressure; • Avoid using the air condition, or set
at temperatures above 21Â °C; • Use your bike for short trips — starting your car when it is «cold» uses 300 % more fuel.»
