What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Mustang GT?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Ford Mustang GT has two engine displacements. The 2.3L model achieves 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, while the 5.0L model accomplishes it in 3.8 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. Greater torque means more force to propel the vehicle, resulting in naturally faster acceleration. For example, the Nissan Patrol 4.0 has a maximum torque of 394 Nm and achieves 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Ford Mustang GT has a maximum torque of 434 Nm and accomplishes 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to superior acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Ford Mustang GT is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. For instance, the Nissan Patrol 4.0 has a power-to-weight ratio of 109 Hp/T and achieves 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Ford Mustang GT 5.0L boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 175 Hp/T and accomplishes 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.
