Sentences with phrase «gear acceleration allows»

The 0 - 62mph time of 11.6 seconds is far from sprightly, but strong in - gear acceleration allows for quick bursts of speed to get past traffic or accelerate out of town / off a slip road.

Not exact matches

This has a better power than engine B, you will find this engine better for in gear acceleration and overtaking manuevers also this engine will allow a higher top speed.

Speaking of more torque from the new engines, it allowed Porsche to select taller gear ratios from third - gear on, improving fuel consumption but still providing quicker acceleration than the outgoing Carreras.

For example, this allows delayed upshifts for increased acceleration, increased engine braking, gear holding in curves, downshifting before passing, or early upshifting for cruising.

The first gear now has a longer ratio, while seventh gear and the final drive have shorter ratios to allow a more agile acceleration experience overall and a more spontaneous response.

The engine is linked to a 6 - speed automatic transmission that uses direct - downshift control to allow for quick shifting when needed (such as rapid acceleration) from sixth to third, or fifth to second, skipping gears for a more immediate response.

Buttons on the back of the steering wheel allow manual shifting, but the broad power band and the number of available gear ratios mean that acceleration is brisk from any speed, and picking gears manually is redundant — more for play than performance.

A wide gear ratio range allows for strong acceleration from a standing start and the D - Step shifting logic allows rapid shifts at high throttle openings.

The revolutionary design even allows for direct shifts from 8th gear to 2nd gear for maximum acceleration.

The Zeroshift transmission allows a manual transmission to change gear in zero time, thereby offering potential fuel economy improvements from driveline efficiency and the best possible vehicle acceleration.

This transmission allows a wide spread of gear ratios, with lower lows and higher highs, for both better acceleration and improved fuel economy.

The first mode provides quick acceleration, the second gives optimum fuel efficiency and the third helpfully allows the transmission to be held in any of three gears for climbing or descending hills.

The added electric power provided by the eAssist system allows for higher gearing to improve steady state efficiency without impacting acceleration performance or driveability.

The 2015 Lexus RX 350 uses a 270 - horsepower 3.5 - liter V6 linked to a 6 - speed automatic transmission featuring direct - downshift control to allow for quick shifting when needed (such as rapid acceleration) from 6th gear to 3rd, or 5th to 2nd, skipping gears for a more immediate response.

Otherwise, the engine - gearbox duo does a decent job, the first five gears have low ratios and allow a quick and linear acceleration as you dodge urban obstacles while the sixth gear aims for better fuel efficiency outside the city.

Next step would be micro-hybridization, which allows further down - sizing and down - speeding, particularly for cars with manual transmission (few people enjoy driving in a gear with no torque to spare for acceleration).

More gears means you always have the optimum selection for quick and responsive acceleration while the high 7th gear allows lower - rpm cruising for greater fuel efficiency.

Performance is enhanced with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine's twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate - to - high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy.

The ZF 9HP48 nine - speed automatic transmission, also featured in the Range Rover Evoque, uses closely spaced gear ratios to provide seamless response and allow for a very low first gear and powerful mid-range acceleration.

The extra gear in the GLA allows for better fuel - economy, smoother shifts and enhanced acceleration.

According to Pontiac, the 2006 Pontiac Solstice's gear ratios «provide just the right revolutions - per - minute dip between shifts during maneuvers, allowing for quick acceleration.»

The combination of a more powerful, higher - revving engine and shortened gear ratios produces impressive acceleration figures, allowing the 2007 911 GT3 to reach 60 mph from a standstill in 4.1 seconds (0 - 100 km / h, 4.3 sec.)

Sportshift ™ II features seven ratios allowing the first six gears to sit closer together taking advantage of the engine's torque characteristic; this enhances the acceleration feel and gives the driver increased control.

The standard TORQUEFLITE ® 8 eight - speed transmission allows for superior acceleration in low gears, while its thermal - management system optimizes fluid temperatures for improved fuel efficiency and durability.
