This gave the new 2002 Si Hatchback, with its 25 - percent larger and 20 - percent torquier engine, more punch in
the rpm range drivers use on an everyday basis.
Not exact matches
None of this experience is as raw and visceral as the original M3's four - cylinder screaming up to its naturally aspirated redline above 7,200
rpm while the stripped - down chassis telegraphed messages direct to the
driver's vagus nerve, but remember: The payoff for more discomfort back then was less than 200 horsepower and 60 mph acceleration in the high 6 - second
range.
The cylinder shut - off function is available over a wide engine speed
range from 800 to 3600
rpm if the
driver has selected transmission mode «C» — Controlled Efficiency.
When the
driver has selected the «Comfort» drive program, the cylinder deactivation system is available in the wide engine speed
range from 1000 to 3250
rpm.
An electronic throttle control and variable induction system help maximize power across the
rpm range for consistency and fuel economy, and the four - speed automatic transmission's Hold Control mode provides a pseudo-manual operation the
driver can select for sportier or more controlled driving.
It achieves better fuel economy than a conventional automatic transmission by constantly changing ratios to keep the engine running in its most efficient
rpm range based on
driver demands.
The engine responds instantly when the
driver demands more throttle, and the vigorous and almost linear power delivery from only slightly above idle, which continues all the way into the higher
rpm range, is duly impressive.
However, most
drivers never use the high
RPM ranges of their engine, so they only use a fraction of the engine's available power around town.
The 4.8 - liter V8's peak torque figure came at a lofty 4600
rpm, while Car and
Driver reports the new 2.7 - liter four - cylinder offers its 348 lb - ft from 1500 to 4000
rpm, a much more usable rev
range.
Available over a wide
range from 800 to 3,600
rpm if the
driver has selected transmission mode C (for Controlled Efficiency), there's still 230 Nm available in four - pot mode (enough for regular driving), and the reactivation process at 3,600
rpm takes no more than 30 milliseconds.
At the
drivers view we find a new cluster, replacing the
RPMs gauge, is the total
range of miles in the middle and a
range of Charge, Eco Guide and Power, which indicates when the battery is charging (by pressing the brakes), the best spot for eco consumption when pressing the accelerator pedal and getting the extra power when flooring the pedal, and to the right we have another gauge with the speedometer and between both guages a screen on the middle with different details.
