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.

As an average driver, I've driven many high-horsepower cars. A 480-horsepower vehicle typically consumes between 9 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on usage. Under normal driving conditions, highway mileage may drop below 10L/100km, while city traffic can push it above 13L/100km. Factors like vehicle weight, tire pressure, and even temperature affect fuel consumption - summer AC use adds extra load. From my experience, choosing cars with start-stop technology can slightly improve fuel efficiency, but ultimately it depends on your driving habits. Driving gently and maintaining proper vehicle condition can make high-power cars surprisingly economical.

From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption issue of a 480-horsepower engine is largely determined by engine efficiency. Many modern high-horsepower engines are equipped with turbocharging or hybrid systems, which optimize fuel economy, with normal consumption ranging from 8 to 14 liters per 100 kilometers. If paired with advanced transmissions like an 8-speed gearbox, fuel consumption can be further reduced—around 10 liters in city driving and approximately 7 liters on highways. Engine design also plays a crucial role; direct injection technology minimizes waste, though pure gasoline models might be slightly higher. I recommend paying attention to the vehicle's powertrain data, as hybrid versions are generally more fuel-efficient.

The fuel consumption difference among various models with 480 horsepower is significant. Sedans generally consume about 8 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, with some sports sedans reaching around 11 liters in urban driving. SUVs, on the other hand, have higher consumption, ranging from 12 to 16 liters, due to their heavier weight and aerodynamic drag. From my own comparison of several models, using lightweight materials can slightly reduce consumption. Driving environment is also crucial; smooth rural roads can help maintain fuel consumption below urban levels. The key is not to focus solely on horsepower but to consider the overall vehicle design and road conditions.
