And because, with more than 600hp on tap — not to mention 700Nm of torque over a broad 1750 - 6000rpm, rising to an even mightier 750Nm over 2500 - 5500rpm on overboost — the RS 7 slams
down more power and torque than any other Audi RS model, making for effortless overtaking at any speed.
Not exact matches
Under full
power, the engine produces 278 hp (7 hp
more than before)
and 252 lb - ft of
torque (versus 254 lb - ft previously), although
more of that
torque is available
down low.
It boasted an extra 20bhp, lifting peak
power to 296bhp,
and though peak
torque was slightly
down, it had a flatter
torque curve, so it felt
more muscular through the rev - range.
The balance feels
more nose - led here
and there's not enough low -
down torque to really fire out of tighter corners, but there's a pleasing sense of grip
and power being evenly matched.
The fact that this is the most potent production Camaro ever,
powered by a 6.2 - liter supercharged V - 8 with 580 hp
and 556 lb - ft of
torque, is a good start, but you need
more than grunt to move a car
down the strip.
Capacity might have gone
down, but
power leapt to 552bhp with around 30 percent
more torque,
and 0 - 62mph dropped again to 3.6 seconds.
At Time Of Build The Undiscounted Eye Watering Price Ticket Was A Huge # 167,000.00, But Still All Of The 302 Cars Found New Loving Homes In Recording Breaking Time

A Cosworth - built engine withstands the extra
power provided by a Flying Miata supercharger, which puts
down around 225 hp (58 hp

and a good deal
more torque.
Limited to just 150 units, this special - edition GTI gets its
power down with
more drama due to the increased
power and torque, up to 180kW
and 370Nm — the latter figure just 10Nm shy of the Golf R.
At the rear wheels, the XR8 slammed

more power and only slightly less
torque than Ford's official (non-overboost) engine outputs.
Thankfully, the GT Supersports comes with the normal GT four - wheel drive to put all that
power and torque down,
and it gets the
torque vectoring we saw on the Continental GT3 R for
more dynamic handling.
The new Honda AP2 engine offers drivers
more power and torque down low, with a minimum of turbo lag along with a fatter
power band, compared to previous, normally aspirated models.
With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta
and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels of performance afforded by this thing's massive
power big tires
and the tall wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta
and sort of build up to the pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line of the hood it kind of dominates the center of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious
and that kind of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration
and incredible
power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit on it because I need to focus on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes of the rest of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system of this car is riding to the same level of the
power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the
power of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs
and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it
and grow with it as a driver
and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be
more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure of the vehicle
and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit
more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive on the street but as we wake our way to the front of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood of this thing
and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger
and a bunch of added cooling on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one on the zo six
and it has a
more cooling capacity
and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the
power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate
and be able to drive to the level of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics
and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot of time to take this car on the track yesterday
and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews on the road
and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort of
more civil minded stuff of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot of that's besides the point now because we're on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car
down it feels like a
more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend
more time driving to the track than you do on the track
and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back
and cruise
and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast
and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine
and the whole friend this car is sort of a shrine to it the way it pops out of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience of this car
and that does make driving this thing special
and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some of the coolest looking wheels currently available on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much
torque again out of this engine that it can be very smooth
and almost imperceptible its clunky on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 % of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed
and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip on the street -
and on the racetrack man it was a little bit
more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it
down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth
and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition
and nowhere is that
more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few
and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here

Still, at $ 8,627, it was hard to beat the Sundance / Shadow America, with their big 2.2 liter engine - providing much
more torque than anything else in its class - along with a nice cloth interior with bucket seats, driver airbag, prop - rod - free hood,
power brakes (discs up front, drums in back), fourteen - inch wheels, fold -
down rear seatback, hidden - hatchback storage,
and other niceties.
With 268 horsepower
and 280 pound - feet of
torque available, it's
down on
power but up on twist compared to the old QX50's naturally aspirated 3.7 - liter V6, but it feels much
more usable in a daily environment.
It does seem the air vent on the side, just behind the front wheels, is gone on the production model, perhaps this could return on a
more powerful edition later on, keep in mind the Urus will initially receive a V8 engine with twin - turbo installation... it is believed this is the only configuration at the moment that supplies to amount of low rpm
power and torque that is needed for an SUV while keeping the weight
down... the large V12
and even the V10 were deemed too heavy for off road use.
«Sonata will come with a 2.0 - litre Turbo for the top models — which is from the same family as the Genesis Coupe 2.0 - litre... I'm told it's tuned for
more low -
down torque and less high - end
power.
Power -
down was what I expected, with
more weight, less tyre
and a bigger bump in
torque making for an excitable rear on corner exits.
For starters, there's
more power from the 5.0 - liter supercharged V8 with an extra 40 - hp to help move you
down the road even quicker for a stout total of 550 hp
and the additional 41 lb - ft of
torque.
The previous generation 1.6 - liter four - cylinder engine has been re-profiled to offer
more mid-range
power and peak outputs are slightly
down at 130 horsepower
and 119 lb - ft of
torque.
And while the six - cylinder models laid down more power overall, the turbo four got its torque to the tires just a little sooner, and with some 70 fewer kilos of curb weight to move alo
