Is 0-100 km/h Acceleration the Same as 100-Meter Acceleration?
1 Answers
Horsepower and torque are fundamentally different. Below is relevant information about 0-100 km/h acceleration: 1. Concept: 0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time taken to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, which is the most intuitive reflection of a car's power. 2. Characteristics: Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration times between 11 to 13 seconds, 2.0T midsize sedans between 7 to 8 seconds, while supercars mostly complete it in under 3.8 seconds. Among vehicles with the same displacement, models equipped with turbocharged engines show significant advantages in 0-100 km/h acceleration because they deliver more powerful output and have a very wide maximum torque range, enabling the vehicle to achieve maximum acceleration capability at very low RPMs.
