Engine torque refers to the twisting force produced by an engine, which determines its ability to rotate or turn objects. It is what gives a vehicle its power to move or pull heavy loads. The higher the
engine torque, the more forceful the engine is and the better it performs in terms of acceleration and towing capacity.
Full definition
In gentle driving, the rear wheels are disconnected to save fuel, but hard acceleration can force almost 100 percent
of engine torque to the rear axle.
Due to an increase in
engine torque in manual mode, the shift procedure is even quicker than previously — and is accompanied by some passionate acoustic feedback for the driver.
The percent reduction is measured between the actual
engine torque output and the driver - requested torque input.
This technology uses advanced electronics to manage
engine torque for optimal traction during acceleration.
In these circumstances, the system can initiate
engine torque reduction and braking interventions to help bring the towing back under control.
Active Ride Control can automatically apply brakes and
adjust engine torque when you hit a bump, helping give a smoother ride.
The all - new dual - clutch transmission does not require a torque converter to
transfer engine torque to the transmission.
Brand new and durable replacement for your defective
engine torque mount at low price is available here.
At highway cruising speeds, the clutch is engaged, connecting the drive motor to the generator motor to
transmit engine torque directly to the drive wheels.
This system is capable of applying the brakes on individual wheels and
decrease engine torque if it detects a possible rollover.
If it detects problems, it can engage braking and reduce
engine torque so you stay steady.
The
maximum engine torque is available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm, making it an incredibly flexible engine under all driving conditions.
Engine torque reaches its peak of 450 lb - ft throughout an unusually large speed range from 1,800 - 4,500 rpm.
This is a stability - enhancing system that when necessary
reduces engine torque and applies carefully calculated braking power to reduce the risk of a skid.
The all - wheel - drive system can even vector up to 60 percent
of engine torque to the rear wheels, not bad for a reasonably priced family sedan.
A tractor - based RSC system consists of an electronic control unit (ECU) that is mounted on a vehicle and continually monitors the vehicle's speed and lateral acceleration based on an accelerometer, and estimates vehicle mass based
on engine torque information.
The electronically
controlled engine torque management system provides quick wide - open - throttle up shifts and quick two - step (4 - 2 or 3 - 1) kick - down shifts that are smoother than would be otherwise possible without this feature.
Instead, it subtly reduces
engine torque as you turn the wheel, momentarily decelerating the car and shifting the weight forward and over the front tyres for increased grip.
The limited edition model also features an updated powertrain
with engine torque increased by almost 20 percent — 166 Nm (122 lb - ft) up to 3,700 rpm, 140 Nm (103 lb - ft) above.
For example, the launch control feature (manual transmission only) automatically
modulates engine torque for the best possible acceleration without excessive wheel spin.
The limited - slip differential
limits engine torque delivered to a particular front wheel that has reduced traction on the road surface, redistributing torque to the wheel with more traction to reduce differences in wheel spin that can hamper acceleration and stability.
Together they balance the distribution of
engine torque between the four wheels, making the vehicle feel poised and sure - footed.1
It can
send engine torque not only to the front or rear wheels but also to one specific rear wheel or the other, which aids even dry - road cornering.
Modified engine management on the BMW Z4 sDrive35is also allows the use of an Overboost function briefly
increasing engine torque under full load by another 50 Newton - metres or 37 lb - ft.
The CX - 5 utilizes Mazda's G - Vectoring Control system, which
varies engine torque in response to steering inputs for better cornering performance and ride stability.
A particular highlight in this case is the two - mass flywheel laid out particularly for an even higher level of power and performance, offering even greater strength and stability and naturally handling
high engine torque of up to 500 Newton - metres or 369 lb - ft without the slightest problem.
The SI - Drive controls the electronic throttle system's response and fuel and ignition curves to
modify engine torque characteristics, changing the performance character of the car in each mode.
As proposed in the NPRM, there must be at least a 10 percent reduction in
engine torque when measured 1.5 seconds after the activation of the ESC system.
The new automatic transmission takes greater advantage of available
engine torque while maximizing smoothness and efficiency during highway cruising.
Mustang buyers choosing the new V - 6 will also get a standard limited - slip differential that provides better handling and more sure - footed grip in poor weather conditions by
directing engine torque to the rear wheel with the most traction.
The intelligent software takes into account variables, such as
engine torque gradients, kick down events, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, hill detection, friction detection and downshift detection to determine the appropriate shift map.
In addition, the Sedona continues to offer a three - step Variable Induction System (VIS) that improves engine «breathing» by automatically adjusting the intake runner lengths to optimize
engine torque under different load conditions.
To enhance stability and feel through the controls when cornering, the Active Trace Control system links with the QX60's standard Vehicle Dynamic Control system (upgraded for 2016), to automatically apply the brakes in a specific pattern and then smooth
engine torque characteristics while accelerating.
