What does 0-100 km/h acceleration mean?
1 Answers
0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time it takes for a car to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h under maximum engine output. This measurement is an important indicator of a vehicle's dynamic performance. Here are some related explanations: 1. Standards for measuring car performance: There are several key standards for evaluating a car's performance: maximum horsepower (affects top speed), maximum torque (affects acceleration), 0-100 km/h acceleration time, fuel consumption per 100 km, approach and departure angles (affect off-road capability), etc. 2. Typical 0-100 km/h acceleration times: For regular family cars, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time typically ranges between 5-12 seconds. Sports cars can achieve 4-5 seconds, while supercars can reach 3-4 seconds. Racing vehicles can achieve astonishing acceleration times of around 2 seconds (especially rally cars and GT3 race cars). 3. Factors affecting 0-100 km/h acceleration: Many factors influence a car's 0-100 km/h acceleration, including vehicle weight, tire performance, aerodynamic drag coefficient, turbo spool-up time, torque, and transmission shift logic, all of which significantly impact acceleration performance.
