Acceleration performance refers to how quickly or efficiently an object or vehicle can increase its speed. It measures the ability to go from a standstill or a lower speed to a higher speed in a short amount of time. Essentially, it describes how fast something can get moving.
Full definition
For the first time the 2017 Accord Hybrid includes a sport mode that provides a more engaging driving experience by adding more battery assist to the propulsion motor for
increased acceleration performance.
Under SPORT mode it provides proportionally greater assistance for a given pedal movement, resulting in
better acceleration performance compared to NORMAL mode.
The first gear is now shorter than in the previous Cayenne for an improved
initial acceleration performance, while the eighth gear is longer for better comfort and fuel efficiency.
By increasing the gear span with a more number of gears, the transmission comes with an improved
acceleration performance at the low gear range, and enhanced fuel economy and NVH at the high gear range.
In conventional AWD vehicles, the weight and friction of the additional drive components reduce the vehicle's
acceleration performance compared to the same model with 2WD.
The 7DCT provides an improvement in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of up to 20 % compared to a conventional six - gear automated transmission,
while acceleration performance could be increased by up to 10 %.
With the combined output of both drives, the first MINI hybrid vehicle demonstrates unparalleled
acceleration performance when compared with its combustion - only siblings.
In addition, the outstanding deceleration and
lateral acceleration performance, and the balanced 40:60 front - to - rear weight distribution, remain unaffected by the evolution from coupé to Spider.
Its compact, lightweight design is 10 % smaller and 13 % lighter than previous CVT designs, while also achieving a 30 % friction reduction for
powerful acceleration performance, quiet operation and improved fuel economy.
It also can improve
acceleration performance in low - traction conditions such as ice and snow as the reduced output helps to minimize wheel slippage.
** Acceleration performance figures are based on ideal conditions with an experienced driver on a prepped 1/4 mile dragstrip running on drag radial rear tires.
The combination of a V - 6 engine and this high - output three - motor system
realizes acceleration performance equivalent to that of a V - 8 engine with fuel efficiency better than that of an inline 4 - cylinder engine.
And rightly so; with the WRX and STI holding down 0 - 60 mph times of 5.4 seconds and 5.1 seconds, respectively, standing -
start acceleration performance between the two cars is nearly identical.
The 1.8 - liter i - VTEC engine provides off - the -
line acceleration performance at low rpm equivalent to that of a 2.0 - liter engine, and efficiency that is up to 6 percent better than the current 1.7 - liter Civic engine, making it one of the world's most efficient 1.8 - liter engine designs.
The added electric power provided by the eAssist system allows for higher gearing to improve steady state efficiency without
impacting acceleration performance or driveability.
Charger Pursuit V - 8 and V - 8 AWD models deliver 370 best - in - class horsepower for best - in - class
acceleration performance needed for police - fleet duty, including 0 - to - 60 mph in less than 6 seconds
Testing will again
comprise acceleration performance data, on - track dynamic evaluation and timing, and, crucially, a week - long drive that will again take in some of the greatest driving roads in the Victorian High Country — a new location for this year's event.
I feel the plusses outweigh the negatives, but any prospective buyer should take a serious test drive under varying conditions and actually experience transmission hesitations and the
mediocre acceleration performance.
Its power output has been increased by 5hp to 130hp (96kW) and delivers even
punchier acceleration performance (a 1,000 m standing start time of 31.1 seconds, an improvement of 0.4 s) with no increase in fuel consumption (5.9 litres / 100 km, combined cycle).
To reduce the response delay that is associated with turbocharged powerplants, the rear Direct Drive Motor acts directly on the engine's crankshaft and works in unison via a sophisticated algorithm to realize direct, high output, high
torque acceleration performance.
Sport Mode For the first time the 2017 Accord Hybrid includes a sport mode that provides a more engaging driving experience by adding more battery assist to the propulsion motor for
increased acceleration performance.
Hyundai is also adding an Idle Stop & Go system and an alternator management system to maximize energy regeneration during braking and to provide
good acceleration performance by minimizing the alternative workload.
«If a coach or an athlete felt they were struggling slightly with an area like their
initial acceleration performance, they might think it was due to a certain configuration within their wheelchair, so they may put forward that athlete to be tested,» Mason says.
The Prius Prime will also feature a Toyota - first dual motor generator drive system, using both the electric motor and the generator for drive force, helping to
boost acceleration performance.
«If a coach or an athlete felt they were struggling slightly with an area like their initial
acceleration performance, they might think it was due to a certain configuration within their wheelchair.»
«The costs of the regulations to consumers and automakers are lower than other policy analyses imply,» Whitefoot says, «because they don't consider tradeoffs between fuel economy and
acceleration performance.
