How Many Seconds Does the Ford Mustang Take to Accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Ford Mustang with a 2.3L engine achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For comparison, the Mercedes C200L in the same class has a maximum torque of 250 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.4 seconds. The Mustang, with a torque of 434 Nm, achieves 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission, as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involves power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Mustang is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. For comparison, the Mercedes C200L in the same class has a power-to-weight ratio of 97 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.4 seconds. The Mustang, with a power-to-weight ratio of 176 Hp/T, achieves 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.
