Does Higher Torque Mean Faster Acceleration?

[MadelynMarie]

Higher torque does not necessarily mean faster acceleration. Factors affecting acceleration speed: Acceleration speed is related to both torque and horsepower, which should be considered together. Theoretically, if two cars have identical powertrain parameters except for their engines, the horsepower of the engine determines the vehicle's speed limit. Torque: Torque, also known as rotational force, refers to the force output by the engine. With constant engine power, lower RPM results in higher torque. When engine horsepower remains unchanged, engine RPM is inversely proportional to torque - smaller torque leads to faster RPM.
