New 8 -
speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) Getting more power from an
engine is worthwhile only when you know where it needs to
go.
Go hard on the pedal in either car and the
engines get quite loud and there
's a sense of drama, but the amount of noise
is greater than the rate at which you gain
speed.
Equipped with the 4.7 - liter, 433 hp V - 8
engine and ZF six -
speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, the GranTurismo convertible can
go from zero to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and
was clocked at 176 mph.
The CX - 9's 2.5 - liter turbo four
is an absolute gem of an
engine, perfectly matched with its 6 -
speed automatic transmission; if you have concerns about a four - cylinder utility,
go drive a CX - 9 --- with seven passengers aboard the Mazda has no problem blasting up on - ramps and passing slower traffic without straining.
And when the
engine gets
going, the emotions rev up too: the Fiat 124 Spider
S - Design
is equipped with the reliable 1.4 - litre turbo four - cylinder
engine with MultiAir technology, which delivers 140 HP power and 240 Nm of torque, and
is available with a six -
speed manual gear and automatic transmission.
The
engine does not have a great deal of torque, which
is the measure of pulling power from low
speeds, so if you regularly drive in stop - and -
go traffic, you may prefer the automatic transmission on the regular RSX.
The turbo
engines have great throttle response, deliver plenty of kick to get up and
go, and
are remarkably efficient, rated at 35 miles per gallon on the highway with the 6 -
speed manual transmission and 34 mpg with the 6 -
speed automatic.
Buyers who
go with the larger
engine will
be saddled with a nine -
speed automatic.
Trimmer dimensions and an edgy
engine response made this Volvo more engaging at lower
speeds than the muscle cars, and every ounce of the Polestar seemed to want to
go faster than you already
were.
Power
is made up higher in the rev range — that
's where the gearbox
is going to keep the
engine turning when you
're trying to pick up
speed quick.
If
going as quickly as possible
is paramount, then the 237bhp 2.0 - litre BiTDI
is the obvious choice; 0 - 62mph in 6.7 seconds and a top
speed of over 140mph mean you'll have a family SUV that can outrun many hot hatchbacks, but don't expect much more than 40mpg from the highly tuned
engine if you make frequent use of its performance.
A five -
speed automatic transmission keeps the
engine in the heart of its power band and the VTM - 4 all - wheel drive system
is fully automatic, putting torque where it needs to
go, even on soupy surfaces.

Alfas
are all about
go, and the more powerful version of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta's 2.0 JTDm
engine doesn't disappoint, with 236 lb ft of torque from 1500rpm (and 258 lb ft at 1750rpm in overboost) producing instant, solid shove almost regardless of
engine speed.
Then, when leaving the driveway on a cold morning, the idle
speed was way high then it would
go into gear, and a fight for alpha male dominance would ensue between the
engine and the transmission.
In true BMW tradition, the X1
goes its own way with a standard 8 -
speed automatic transmission and BMW's xDrive all - wheel drive system and a 2.0 - liter twin - turbo 4 - cylinder
engine providing a great driving experience that should
be familiar to BMW loyalists.
