Sentences with phrase «top gear reduce»

Not exact matches

The overall gearbox ratios have been reduced compared to those in the standard 911, meaning that the GT3 reaches its top speed in seventh gear rather than sixth.

The other upshots are shorter initial gears for better acceleration feel and taller top gears for better highway fuel economy and reduced engine noise.

What that means is that the ZF - 9HP's top gear is «taller», spinning the engine at lower revs on the highway to reduce fuel consumption.

Perhaps more importantly, more speeds in the transmission allow automakers to gear the top ratio «taller» — tech talk for the engine turning more slowly — and, again, rpm reduced is fuel conserved.

The higher top gear not only reduces fuel consumption but the lower engine revs improve comfort and reduce noise when cruising at a sustained speed.

With a wide 7.39 overall gear ratio spread and lower numerical top gear ratio, the transmission also improves efficiency by reducing engine revolutions at highway speeds.

The wider overall ratio enables a lower numerical top gear ratio — an attribute that reduces engine speed on the highway, which contributes to greater fuel efficiency than a comparable eight - speed transmission.

You get a five - speed gearbox in SCe 115 petrols and a six - speed in the TCe 125 petrol and dCi 110 diesel — the six - speed is considerably more relaxed at motorway speeds, its high top gear ratio reduces engine revs when cruising.

It's now even better thanks to taller second and top gear ratios in the LC70's sole five - speed manual transmission, which extracts more of the significant torque available at low speeds and reduces engine speed to less than 2000rpm in top at 100km / h.
