Finally I was at the wheel and the first part of the track had
a short acceleration and braking section.
Not exact matches
Adding to its already impressive performance capabilities, the Audi A7 utilizes ultra ® lightweight technology consisting of materials that are strong yet lightweight for faster
acceleration,
shorter braking,
and improved handling.
It reveals something most Canadian drivers should already know: Steering is more precise,
acceleration is more effective
and braking distance is much
shorter on snow
and ice when using winter tires.
This true, uncompromised driving machine delivers its best on the track, where speed,
short braking distances
and transverse
acceleration are essential to get first ‐ rate lap times: 0 to 62mph in 4.5 seconds; 160mph of top speed; deceleration peaks in the range of 1.2 g; lateral
acceleration peaks of over 1.1 g
and optimum weight distribution 40 % over the front axle
and 60 % over the rear, not to mention a power - to - weight ratio of over 250hp per tonne, values worthy of true supercar.
This guarantees better
acceleration and shorter braking distances at high
and low temperatures — in wet or dry conditions.
This extensive package also includes an electronic limited - slip differential, differential
and transmission cooling, additional engine cooling, larger slotted front
brakes, a downforce - generating aero package,
shorter gear ratios for increased
acceleration, Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires
and stiffer shocks, dampers
and roll bars.
Future EV motors could be designed (at an extra cost
and extra weight) to supply more
braking and short time
acceleration energy.
Conversely a
shorter or lower final drive (higher numerically) is the performance choice to increase
acceleration but worse fuel consumption Finite Element Analysis: Computer data
and design analysis to come up with the most rigid structure in the given budget or ultimate performance possible Fly - off
brake: A throwback to the early days of the sports cars when the
brake lever would be pulled up to engage
and then the handle dropped down yet remained engaged Forged Alloy Wheels: Alloy wheels are one application of forging but very costly
and with limited designs because of the complexity of the casting dies needed to squeeze the hot alloy Forging: Sometimes referred to squeeze - process.
It could potential be used in electric vehicles in combination with a regular lithium - ion battery to more efficiently capture the
short bursts of electricity produced by regenerative
braking,
and to provide more instant - power during hard
acceleration.
