What is Car Torque?

[VanMolly]

Car torque refers to the rotational force output from the crankshaft end of the engine. Here are specific details about car torque: 1. Relationship between torque and the engine: Under fixed power conditions, it is inversely proportional to engine speed. The faster the speed, the smaller the torque, and vice versa, reflecting the vehicle's load capacity within a certain range. 2. Relationship between torque and horsepower: With the same displacement, higher torque indicates a better engine. A significant part of the 0-100 km/h acceleration time depends on the car's torque. Horsepower, which is the car's power, determines how fast a car can ultimately go, depending on how high the horsepower limit is. For family cars, the engine's maximum torque should occur at very low speeds, while maximum horsepower appears at relatively higher speeds.
