When you see the numbers «662» and «631» filling the horsepower and
torque boxes of a car's specification sheet, you expect an NHRA - like acceleration curve.
Not exact matches
A 2.5 - liter, turbodiesel four - cylinder engine makes just 111 horsepower and 195 lb - ft

of the available shove, and breather pipes keep water from wreaking havoc with the gearbox, transfer
box, and both differentials.
So rather than trying to send much
of the 510 lb - ft

box is selected.
Opt instead for the Ram 1500 Tradesman and tick the
box for the 395 - hp Hemi with 407 lb - ft
of torque, and you'll walk out the door paying $ 690 less than you would for a Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V - 6.

Through this
box goes up to 145 hp and 140 lb - ft
of torque.
The 57bhp 658cc engine may only deliver peak
torque of 48 lb ft, and then only from 3500rpm, but it is enough to get the 930 kg N
Box around town with more than enough verve to keep up with the flow.
This engine is producing 150 HP and 260 lb - ft
of torque and it is mated to a 7 - speed direct - shift
box.
In 2011, the facelifted C 63 landed with a new seven - speed multi-clutch transmission (not a dual - clutch set - up but the old auto»
box with several clutches in place
of the
torque converter), a new grille and an aluminium bonnet.
It still uses a transfer
box to provide a separate low range
of ratios for extreme off - road use and has a standard 50/50
torque split.
600HP and the massive low and mid-range
torque for under $ 16k is hard to beat, especially something that can handle racing out
of the
box.»
The transmission is AMG's clever seven - speed automatic, but with a clutch pack in place
of a traditional
torque converter, which allows it to be calibrated to act much like a dual clutch
box with both smooth and rapid shifts.
The latest CVT automatic is standard and truly is a new breed
of lightweight and economical transmissions, and we took a quick video
of a brake
torque launch to show how snappy this new Xtronic
box is.
I'm still not a fan
of dual - clutch transmissions in «normal» cars — they're just not as smooth as a good
torque - converter
box in stop - and - go traffic and city driving.
The six - speed manual gear
box is from the Viper super car but both are upgraded exclusively to handle the added
torque of the supercharged engine.
Equipped with quattro all - wheel drive right out
of the
box, the Audi RS7 comes by its 560 horsepower and 516 lb - ft
of torque by way
of a 4.0 - liter V8 engine paired with two turbochargers.
But it's really the sound and the low down
torque delivery
of the 5.7 that seal the deal for checking the Hemi option
box.
The 1.2 L petrol engine produces 83PS
of power & 115Nm
torque and comes mated to a five - speed manual gearbox; The 1.4 L U2 CRDi diesel unit generates 90PS power & 220Nm
of torque and comes paired with a six - speed manual transmission; and The third option is the 1.4 L petrol mill that comes mated to a four - speed automatic gear -
box and produces 100PS
of power and 132Nm
of torque.
Featuring 17 - inch wheels with namesake Firestone Firehawk 275 / 40ZR17 tires along with a functional twin - inlet hood above a specific air cleaner
box, its rated power increased to 300 hp (220 kW) and 330 lb · ft (445 Nm)
of torque.
The transmission delivers a modicum
of engine braking at times, but it's never favourably comparable with most modern automatics with
torque converters, let alone conventional manual
boxes.
Once the
box has sorted itself out, the 175bhp diesel feels punchy enough, and while its 380Nm
of torque is 20Nm less than in either rival, it doesn't feel left behind.
In the case
of the diesel, the broad
torque plateau meant the
box shifted less frequently than is required for either gas engine, which is a good thing.
99 -»04 Chevy Silverado 1500s with the 4.8 L / 5.3 L / 6.0 L family
of engines Horsepower gain: Up to 50 hp
Torque gain: Up to 68 lb - ft What's in the
box?
With a rated 469 horsepower and 519 lb - ft
of torque, it is enough out
of the
box to put the muscle in your muscle car project.
It feels more like a muscle car thanks to an abundance
of low - end
torque and being the lightest truck in the class - 6,532 lbs for a 4WD crew cab and 6» 6»
box vs. 7,625 lbs for the Ram 2500 when similarly equipped.

The D - 4D unit we buy provides plenty
of punch though, with 273 lb ft
of torque from 1,200 rpm, and maximum twist
of 332 lb ft from 1,600 rpm — that's with the auto
box; it's slightly lower in the rev range with the manual.
The new X5 M50d will also carry a three - stage turbocharged 3.0 - liter powerplant that is set to send plenty

torque through an eight - speed automatic
box and out to all four wheels.
ENGINE, PERFORMANCE, BRAKING & HANDLING The Vitara Brezza is powered by a 1.3 L DDiS diesel engine which produces 90ps

However, the design lacks stiffness, because the transition areas from front to center and center to rear reduce beam and torsional resistance, hence the use
of torque boxes, and soft suspension settings.
Coupled with a very handy 360Nm
of torque and a good old fashioned 6 - speed manual
box, the front - wheel drive master can reach 100km / h in six seconds flat.
Maximum
torque comes in at just 2000 rpm, which gives this engine stump - pulling power out
of the
box and a class - leading tow rating
of 7,700 lbs.
