How Many Seconds Does the Mustang Take to Accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Ford Mustang takes 5.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The Toyota 86 has a maximum torque of 205 Nm and takes 8.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. The Mustang's 2.3-liter turbocharged engine delivers 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 434 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Ford 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 (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Toyota 86 has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.59 horsepower/kg and takes 8.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. The Ford Mustang has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.75 horsepower/kg and achieves 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.
