What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Ford Mustang GT?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Ford Mustang GT's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 5.8 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The Toyota 86 has a maximum torque of 205 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.1 seconds; the Mustang's 2.3-liter turbocharged engine delivers 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 434 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission, as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > automatic transmission (AT) > continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Ford Mustang GT is equipped with a 10-speed automatic manual transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Toyota 86 has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.59 horsepower/kg and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.1 seconds; the Ford Mustang GT has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.75 horsepower/kg and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds.
