What does the maximum speed of a car mean?
1 Answers
Car maximum speed refers to the highest driving speed that a car can achieve on a well-leveled road surface (concrete or asphalt), which is the speed when the driving resistance and driving force are balanced under windless conditions on a flat road surface. The maximum speed is measured in the last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer-long test section, with four round trips conducted to obtain the average value. A car is defined as a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, equipped with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting people and/or goods, towing vehicles that carry people and/or goods, and for special purposes.
