It has
better acceleration figures and has added functionality with the launch control.

Those
figures put it
well behind a McLaren 570S, let alone a 650S, but independent tests of the LP610 - 4 show it massively outperforms the claimed
acceleration figures.
As
well as taking the covers off its new production 4x4, Lamborghini has released a full technical breakdown of the car including its 641bhp power
figure, a top speed of 189mph and a 0 - 62mph
acceleration time of just 3.6 sec.
While the stats back me up, this row goes beyond zero - to - ticket

better job hustling through corners.
Believe it or not, the semi-automatic PDK delivers
better acceleration and fuel economy
figures across the entire Cayman range.
This
figure makes the M550i xDrive the quickest 5 Series yet and only the upcoming M5 will be able to set a
better benchmark in terms of
acceleration.
Acceleration and top speed
figures, as
well as torque
figures, are being kept quiet for now, but will be released later in the year.
First gear is
good for 51 mph, but we didn't match those quoted
acceleration figures on this day, recording 0 - 60 in 4.1 and the quarter in 12.4 at 115.3 mph.
Although the zero to 100km / h
acceleration figures sound somewhat sleepy (10.3 seconds), the CT200h actually feels brisk enough off the mark, and does a
good job of minimising time spent in the right lane when passing slower traffic on the open road.
With these
figures it isn't difficult to get
figures like an
acceleration from 0 to 100 Km / h in a mere 2.5 seconds and a top speed
well over 300 Km / h, but these
figures don't tell the entire story.

Getting back to the main point of the paper, it should be obvious from the
figure above that the first equation is not a
good approximation of the second, because the entrainment term is not a major player and it certainly is not acting to balance the buoyancy
acceleration.
