What does the official 0-100km/h acceleration mean?
1 Answers
Official 0-100km/h acceleration (s) refers to the time it takes for a car to accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 100km/h. The car's acceleration time symbolizes its acceleration performance, which is the ability to rapidly increase driving speed. The length of the 0-100km/h acceleration time indicates the quality of the car's acceleration capability—the shorter the time, the better the performance. A shorter time also implies greater engine torque, lighter body weight, and higher overall vehicle power. Automotive acceleration is directly related to the vehicle's suspension system, body structure, wheel control system, engine displacement, and engine performance. In some professional testing experiments, external factors such as wind speed, outdoor temperature, ground temperature, and ground humidity are even considered for their potential impact on the vehicle's acceleration performance.
