Claiming 278 hp, the new engine is more powerful than the 236 - hp 4.0 - litre V6 it replaces, while producing just 1 pound - feet
less peak torque, at 265 lb. - ft.
Not exact matches
Despite utilising power from a turbocharged 2 - litre diesel engine producing significantly
less power — it
peaks at 187bhp — the arrival of 295 lb ft of
torque from just 1750rpm gives the BMW enough punch to worry a supercar worth more than four times its list value.
With
peak torque arriving at
less than 2000rpm the shove is pretty relentless, and you never feel it's going to end.
Peak torque is available from 1800rpm through to 5700rpm, and maximum power is produced between 5500rpm and about 7200rpm (the limiter being set at around 7500rpm,
less than the old V8 but impressively high for a turbocharged car.)
It's powerful, too, with a
peak output of 209bhp and a slightly
less impressive 184 lb ft maximum
torque output developed at a high 5000rpm.
It has separate septums for the 1 - 4 and 2 - 3 cylinders, resulting in 90 percent of
peak torque in
less than 1.93 seconds.
The price has been a reduction in
peak output to 245 hp @ 6000 rpm and 260 lb - ft of
torque at 1350 — 4000 rpm, some 29 hp and 9 lb - ft
less than before.
The 453 - hp
peak is
less than Ferrari's mid-mounted V - 8s and the redline drops from 8500 to 8000 rpm, but the California's
torque curve is substantially broader and taller, with 358 lb - ft of maximum twist available at 5000 rpm.
The
torque curve is also a beneficiary of the changes, a quick peek at Corradi's internal Ferrari document revealing that it is substantially fattened up between 3000 and 4000rpm,
peaks slightly higher than in the F430, and keeps its advantage, albeit to a
lesser degree, all the way to the red line.
But the
torque production is still rather tepid with the
peak 127 pound - feet, three
less than the 130 pound - feet in the Celica and only two more than the 125 pound - feet in the «regular» Corollas.
My suspicion is that the extra pressure is used to power the engine after max
torque, ie maintaining power after the
peak torque - probably giving an engine with
less «cliff» drop compare to other turbo engines.
The 2.0 - liter Skyactiv engine boasts
less peak power, but with more accessible
torque it feels just as peppy.
The 1.6 - liter I - 4 delivers 88 kW (120 CV, 118 horsepower) and
peak torque of 320 N · m (236 lb - ft), making it a leader among engines with displacements of 1.8 liters or
less.
Peak torque still arrives at
less than 2,000 rpm (1,950 rpm, to be exact) and stays up there until the tach's needle reaches 5 grand.
That's the same power
peak as the premium Polo's 81kW 1.2 - litre turbo - petrol engine, which produces more
torque (175Nm), while the base Mazda2 offers more power but
less torque than the equivalent Polo (66kW / 160Nm).
The engine loves to spin, and even with that high
torque peak, you use the gearbox a lot
less than you'd think.
The new A6 Ultra sedan and wagon employ a unique version of the A6 2.0 TDI's 2.0 - litre four - cylinder turbo - diesel engine, which delivers 120kW (10kW
less peak power than the standard model) and a hefty 400Nm of
torque over 1750 - 3000rpm — up 20Nm.
Although that big power number stands out and these trucks are quick, our butt - dyno says they require
less than half the revs to deliver more than standard - engine
peak torque, which you'll notice as a more - effortless drive or hillclimb.
Unlike
lesser Civics, the Type R gets a 2.0 - litre, turbocharged four cylinder engine that makes its
peak 306 horsepower at 6,500 RPM, while turbocharging helps with a wall of
torque.
In
less frenetic driving,
peak torque of 260Nm is available between 1,850 rpm and 5,600 rpm.
However, Zetsche confirmed that the electric motors previewed by the new concept have been developed to deliver a combined maximum of up to 402bhp and
peak torque of 516 lb ft — figures he says would allow the new SUV to deliver a 0 - 62mph time of
less than five seconds.
The system achieves more than 80 % cooling efficiency with
less than 2 psi (12 kPa) flow restriction at
peak power, contributing to the engine's available
torque production at low rpm.

Although its
peak torque figure is achieved over a wide 2000 - 5500rpm, Ford's final Pursuit Ute will deliver
less torque than the discontinued FPV F6 sedan, which offers 310kW / 565Nm from the most powerful version of Ford's homegrown turbocharged 4.0 - litre straight six.
Despite the meagre power output, the city car also produces 658Nm of
torque (with an 896Nm
peak)- only 4Nm
less than that generated by the V12 - powered Mercedes S63 AMG, which weighs approximately three times as much as the MOTIV.e.
The 240 - hp diesel makes 65 hp
less than the gas - burning V6, but its 420 lb - ft of
torque peak way down at 2,000 rpm.
