Not exact matches

The RPM changes are due to gear ratio changes to deliver torque that moves the car; the higher the gear, the slower the engine turns and vice versa.

It also makes more torque than the old four - cylinder at any given rpm, is quieter and smoother, and pulls more strongly at high engine speeds.

Reggiani went into detail about the engine choice, too: «When we made a product profile, we recognised that talking about an SUV — a car that must be able to go offroad, or go in a situation where you have asphalt that's not flat — it was more and more fundamental to have high level of torque at low rpm.

By combining the high - revving performance of petrol power and superior torque and fuel economy of diesel propulsion, Mazda quotes 10 - 30 per cent increases in torque and 20 - 30 per cent gains in engine efficiency over the current Skyactive - G generation engines.

That all takes us back to my earlier comments about heavy vehicles, diesel engines, and torque; as they produce high torque values quite well, at low engine speeds, over a wide rev range, and they do it reasonably reliably too.

We should point out that the acceleration figure quoted is for 0 - 62mph, rather than the 0 - 60mph on Kia's website (though we've now listed both for convenience), and you'll understand that we're only using the official torque figure - but in our experience, the engine does loosen up significantly with use so a higher torque figure is certainly believable.

Rated at 562bhp at 7500rpm and 443 lb ft from 5000rpm the 570S's engine is some way down on the 650S's (641bhp and 500 lb ft), but it has the same high redline and linear torque curve.

That said, simply put, torque production with high durability and low friction (the latter two mostly coming from low engine speeds and the use of heavy duty powertrain design approaches) is really the main reason diesel engines are used.

Direct injection is employed, as is variable valve timing, a high compression ratio, redesigned fuel injectors, and reshaped piston cavities; the automatic transmission optimizes the use of its lockup torque converter; both transmissions and the engine are fractionally lighter.

Of the 3008's two highest - output engines, the 177bhp diesel feels the faster thanks to its heftier torque (295 lb ft versus 177) and reduced need for progress - pausing gearshifts.

The automatic «box is also keen to downshift when maintaining a higher gear might make better use of the engine's torque curve.

Diesel engines generate high torque at low...

By the time it reaches the final drive it has gone through the gearbox, and a low revving engine needs higher gearing for the same road speed (use gearing to double the speed and you halve the torque), hence after the gearbox a big loss in actual torque.

There's a new high - pressure injection system and the double (for both banks of cylinders) VANOS variable camshaft timing has also been recalibrated, resulting in a peak engine output of 601bhp produced at 5500rpm, and peak torque of 590 lb ft arriving at 1550rpm, the curve remaining as flat as a pint of night club lager until 5500rpm.

So, we have an engine design trend for vehicles (that are designed to carry varying weight) that reads like this; more * constant / high value torque over a greater rev range, preferably starting as low as possible within the rev range, and with efficiency, reliability, and economy if possible.

The Pista's torque output is higher at any engine speed than the GTB's, and the response from the turbochargers is said to be even quicker.

Motorcycles, on the other hand do not have quite such a large potential for varying weight (as cars), and as such their engines don't need to be straddled with these same design limitations / specifications; hence their emphasis on high rotational speeds, light weight, high volumetric efficiencies, and KW - rather than (specifically) torque.

The 2.0 T is essentially the Civic Type R's engine detuned to 252 hp and 273 lb - ft of torque, the latter being the highest torque figure ever applied to an Accord.

At higher speeds, reaching the edge of adhesion results in understeer — at lower velocities the combination of the engine's urge and the quattro system's rear - biased torque split means it can be persuaded into brief bursts of power oversteer; although this isn't a state the car shows any enthusiasm for.

It also touts the real - world performance of a turbo engine, which should produce more torque at high altitudes than normally aspirated competitors.

As akadian mentioned, the car will stay in lower gears as you accelerate, allowing the engine to stay in the optimal rev - range for higher torque output.

When the electronically operated system senses wheel slip or calls for added torque to the rear during high - speed cornering, the rear axle is engaged to send up to 30 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels.

Now making 440 hp and 406 lb - ft of torque (increases of 20 hp and 22 lb - ft, respectively), the engine is refreshingly responsive and smooth, even under heavy loads and at high rpm.

Unlike most high - power, high - profile muscle car builds, whatever check - writer commissioned this psychopath eschewed the traditional big - block gas engine in favor of a 6.7 - liter Cummins I - 6, putting down an insane 1,500 hp and 2,500 lb - ft of torque to the rear wheels.

Peak torque arrives at 4,700 rpm, though it's higher than 200 lb - ft across essentially the entire engine speed range.

Engines for this sort of application typically sacrifice peak torque and torque spread for gains at high rpm.

Probably the most common cause of that is a head gasket with a leak between the two, which could be caused by high compression / detonation (there are several possible causes for that including incorrect ignition timing, low octane gasoline), an engine overheat, uneven head bolt torques and / or a defective head gasket.

One low - cost solution is to use American transmissions, Quintus says, because they can handle high - torque V - 8s similar in output to BMW's engines.

Still, it produces a very healthy 301 hp and 258 lb - ft of torque — that's the highest output from this engine yet.

Pop it in a high gear at low revs, let the supercharger strut its stuff and it's very different in its behaviour to either of the standard naturally aspirated engines — not quite as instant and keen to rev, but once the torque hits home and the engine digs deep there's a towering surge of acceleration that's easily sustained until beyond 7000rpm.

And the engine's high torque at low rpm (thank you, turbos), means a bunch of horsepower down low in the rev range (for you fellow drag racing and dyno - chart freaks you know what I mean).

The high - torque characteristics of the diesel engine and electric motor suit the heavy loads of Class 4 Freightliner perfectly, and deliver acceleration that is on - par with standard diesel units.

More boost (17.4 psi peak boost from a larger turbo) and a higher grade of pistons and exhaust valves permit the Golf R engine to develop 296 hp @ 5500 - 6200 rpm and 280 lb - ft of torque @ 1800 — 5500 rpm.

In truth, the engine's torque output is so high that gear choice is relatively unimportant, and it actually seems happiest on track with the gearbox left in «Drive» in its sport mode.

There's a new titanium exhaust with 91 mm diameter pipes, a revised intake system and a new engine management system that account for the slightest of gains in the sprints (at 3.2 seconds it's a tenth quicker than the old car to 62mph) but will have a bigger impact on the car's as - yet - undisclosed Nürburgring lap time.

The way diesels deliver power is a lot like old - school American V - 8 engines — loads of torque down low, and not much power at high rpms.

Not that you need to push the engine that high, because the broad torque band means you can lap the entire track in third and fourth gears without wanting for power anywhere in the rev range.
