What is the fuel consumption per 100 km for a 480 horsepower engine?
2 Answers
480 horsepower per 100 kilometers consumes about 35 liters of fuel. Here are the relevant introductions: Horsepower: Horsepower is a commonly used unit of measurement for power in engineering. 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 735 watts. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. In China's legal measurement units, the unit of power is the watt. Fuel consumption per 100 km: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is the value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment, using a dynamometer installed on the chassis of the vehicle, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated by driving at a specified speed to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers of the model.
Driving a high-performance car with 480 horsepower is indeed exhilarating, but this level of power usually comes with higher fuel consumption, typically ranging between 10 to 18 liters per 100 kilometers. For example, high-performance sports cars or sporty SUVs can easily see fuel consumption surge above 15 liters when driven in congested urban areas or during aggressive driving, especially with the air conditioning on or when fully loaded. Based on my own experience with similar models, gentle commuting can keep consumption around 12 liters, but a heavy foot on the accelerator can push it past 20 liters in no time. To save fuel, it's advisable to maintain a steady speed, avoid sudden acceleration, and keep up with regular maintenance. After all, high horsepower doesn't necessarily mean fixed fuel consumption—it also depends on the specific model and daily driving habits.
