That broad torque curve will give drivers of the vehicle a feeling
of available power in almost any driving condition.
Modest engine power is acceptable if you get your Crosstrek with the five - speed manual transmission, because when you're rowing your own gears, you can make best use
of the available power at the expense of your fuel economy.
But we have to understand what the
details of the available power are,» says Hermann Böhnhardt, the other lead Philae scientist, at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany.
According to Axel Kleidon and Lee Miller of the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany, the impact of wind power depends on what
proportion of the available power we extract.
Ion thrusters can deliver one order of magnitude greater propellant efficiency than traditional liquid fuel rocket engines, but are constrained to very low accelerations by the power / weight
ratios of available power systems.
Yes, Tesla's supercharger network is fairly extensive, and can take up some of the slack, but Audi's superior
utilization of its available power is more than just a practical issue, as noted above: it's a matter of technical superiority.
Hyundai received — and deserved — and lot of credit for building an inexpensive, stylish, rear - wheel - drive car with
lots of available power.
It rides great on the highway, has
tons of available power, and does most things off road quite well without the annoying chimes and clunks of the other SUVs.
To enable maximum
exploitation of the available power, the tiptronic five - speed automatic transmission incorporates a Sport program which holds each gear for longer, and permits swifter downshifts.
Even with only a moderate increase in ride height, the changes to the All Terrain's four - wheel drive system allow a full
apportioning of available power to the front or rear wheels rather than just a partial sharing of drive, endowing it with the ability to take you places most potential buyers would never dream of tackling.
The Q50's fast - acting AWD system defaults to 100 percent rear - wheel drive when the road is dry, but it will send as much as 50
percent of available power to the front wheels when its sensor array detects any loss of traction at the rear.
Therefore, the manufacturer's (or purchaser's / modifier's) choice of gearing, and appropriate use of the available ratios, is even more crucial to make best
use of the available power and avoid being «bogged down» in flat spots.
This is compounded by the rubber - band action of the CVT, which works well to take
advantage of available power but seems to numb the connection to the car and cause uncertainty about jumping into a hole in traffic.
However, the latest xDrive system is now capable of sending almost 100 per
cent of available power to either end if the Dynamic Stability Control senses a dramatic loss of traction.
In Sport mode, Kia's all - wheel - drive system sends up to 80 percent
of available power to the rear wheels.
Once the battery pack depletes to about 5 percent
of available power, the gasoline engine fires up.
This means that the R8 Plus Spyder is able to send as much as 100 %
of available power to either axle, while there is also limited slip differential on the rear to further enhance traction under load.
The available AWD system monitors wheel - spin, throttle position and vehicle speed and sends up to 50 %
of the available power to the rear wheels for better traction in adverse conditions.
The QX30's Intelligent All - Wheel Drive (AWD) system monitors wheel - spin, throttle position and vehicle speed, to send out up to 50 %
of available power to the rear wheels for better traction.
The engineers designed the Quadrifoglio to be inherently rear - wheel drive, but up to 60 percent
of available power can end up at the front axle.
The AWD system is capable of sending 100 %
of available power to either the front or rear axle, and the driver can select front - wheel drive mode for improved fuel economy.
Also, an electronically controlled rear differential can send up to 100 %
of available power to either rear wheel for better traction in slippery conditions.
In regular conditions only 50 %
of the available power is sent to the rear wheels.
Audi's quattro all - wheel drive helps keep things glued to the tarmac in any conditions, and thanks to newly revised software it's capable of routing 100 %
of the available power to the rear to counter understeer.
The xDrive intelligent all - wheel drive system is able to divert up to 100 %
of available power to the rear wheels, and combined with the DSC system also provides a hill descent control.
In low - range, the system can transfer up to 100 percent
of available power to any single wheel, depending on tractive needs.
The 2.4 - liter TLX comes with an 8 - speed dual - clutch transmission that makes good use
of the available power.
That initial tip - in, however, seems to summon about 75 %
of the available power, making graceful getaways all but impossible.
One vital feature is the quick - responding gearbox (which has a selectable sport mode) that drops into lower gears quickly when you toe the accelerator, making better - than - usual use of the available power
Volvo's «Instant Traction» system is the fifth generation system from Haldex, which sends about 95 percent
of available power to the front wheels under normal conditions.
With this new transmission, the gear ratios are similar to the eight - speed which means with an extra gear in the mix, the Malibu makes better use
of the available power and one of the positive side effects is an improvement to the fuel efficiency.
Those biturbos, in particular, are a piece of work given their ability to further improve the engine's throttle response and generate top - end power, all while keeping its fuel efficiency numbers where they're supposed to be, ultimately allowing the engine to maximize
all of the available power at its disposal.
Having a large number of USB devices connected can use up
all of the available power for the USB ports without a device being connected to all of the ports.
Rearranging, the power per area is Wind turbine blades do not extract
all of the available power out of the wind.
The 2.4 - liter TLX comes with an 8 - speed dual - clutch transmission that makes good use
of the available power.
Will you ever use
all of the available power or features found on the new Galaxy Note 5... probably not, but it is nice to know they are there if you ever need them.
