Sentences with phrase «gear acceleration much»

Boasting a 2.0 - litre petrol unit that produces 242bhp, it manages 0 - 62mph in 6.3 seconds, although in reality the car is irritatingly limited by traction issues, making its in - gear acceleration much more impressive.

Not exact matches

With so much torque on - tap it makes effortless progress, be it on the motorway, where a mild squeeze of the throttle in 6th gear brings a satisfying shove of acceleration, or on a fast A or B road, where you can make swift progress by smoothly stroking along in the higher gears.

Most of the time you don't get the advantage of the instant torque from the electric motor, instead, before there's any acceleration, the gearbox needs to kick down to the correct gear as the electronics decide just how much of each power source it wants to use.

Our European Bureau chief Georg Kacher previously reported on the future of the McLaren lineup, saying that the 650S replacement would not perform much higher than the current 650S, with simple things like better in - gear acceleration, semi-active suspension, and a smaller emissions footprint.

It's the way the Focus packages its power on the move that gives it such remarkable real - world pace, making so much of its prodigious torque available for so much of the time that the sheer dimension of its in - gear acceleration from less than 2000rpm — especially in 4th, 5th and 6th — is often surreal.

To produce the power increase Bentley has increased boost from the turbochargers and developed new engine mapping, whilst shortened gear ratios emphasise this car's focus on acceleration (as opposed to long distance cruising much like the standard car).

There's better acceleration at any speed, although the most noticeable improvement comes in passing maneuvers between 50 and 70 mph, when the Toyota needs second but the Civic can muster just as much confidence and make a smoother downshift with third gear.

With the torque arriving so much earlier, there's no pressing need to keep the engine stoked with frequent visits to lower ratios to ensure solid levels of in - gear acceleration.

What's nice is that, since the 2015 update, the XUV500 puts the power down to the front wheels much better now, and despite the increase in power, this 2018 facelift doesn't pull hither and thither under hard acceleration in lower gears.

The CR - V CVT is designed to provide the optimum gear ratio for the driving conditions and to offer a more natural driving feel than some previous CVT transmissions that have a disconnected «rubber - band» feel compared to a conventional automatic transmission; the CR - V also offers stronger acceleration response with a linear build in engine rpm that avoids much of the «slipping» feeling some drivers notice with other CVTs.

It's the same seven - speed dual - clutch transmission that we liked so much in the mid-spec Megane Zen, but with a revised calibration that lengthens the gearing to deliver sportier performance on acceleration.

For example, when the GT - R begins moving from a standstill at a slow rate of acceleration, the gearshift change to second from first gear is now much smoother than before.

Even the much maligned skip - shift feature; which forces a direct 1st to 4th gear shift during light acceleration, helps make the new Corvette a classic sports car built for a modern age.
