This innovative turbocharged unit provides
more horsepower and torque per litre than any other four - cylinder petrol engine found in this class of car.
As for the diesel, there's no telling what will happen, but I would expect an increase
in horsepower and torque output to go with better emissions and economy as well.
The various
horsepower and torque numbers made available in actual production cars might be anywhere in between the lower and upper end of the numbers shown.
In the hands of engine tuning experts, tweaking these attributes can result in tremendous gains in
horsepower and torque output, at an inexpensive price tag.
The standard engine is a new 3.3 L V6 with direct - injection that will offer the same
horsepower and torque as the previous model's standard 3.5 L V6.
The kit itself is a collection of components chosen and designed to
add horsepower and torque to an already installed engine.
My experience is that those relatively minor differences in
horsepower and torque mean little when it comes to actual on - road performance.
Besides the
generous horsepower and torque gains, direct injection technology produces a significant reduction in emissions through a 40 percent reduction in catalyst light - off time.
The new four makes slightly
more horsepower and torque — roughly 270 horsepower and 300 lb - ft — but holds on to the same impressive fuel economy figures.
Up - powered compact crossovers will still beat the RAV4's
horsepower and torque numbers and they will continue to sell at a fraction of the RAV4's pace.
Given its existing 5.3 - second sprint to 60 mph, we would anticipate that to drop near the 4.5 - second range with the
added horsepower and torque.
The six - speed manual gearbox is equipped with a short throw racing shifter, an upgraded clutch, and stronger internal components to accommodate the
increased horsepower and torque.
