Send us a note: guidesandgear@thedrive.com. Power is directly proportional to both Torque and engine rpm. A lighter vehicle improves everything from top speed, acceleration, handling, fuel mileage so its the best thing you can do to a car. The only ways to increase air to the engine is either by more airflow or more displacement.Better airflow, by allowing less restrictive flow of cold air to the engine, will allow you to have more oxygen available for combustion. What good is the power if you can't get it to the ground? However, power/weight really only matters for how easy it is for you to maintain speed. Usually most people only care about Horsepower (or Kilowatts for those of you that live in a place where things make sense) when it comes to making their car faster. What good is all that horsepower if you are fishtailing it all over the drag strip? It’s also used by every engineer in the world. Instantaneous torque on demand. Track performance sports cars, like the Honda S2000, new Shelby GT350R, and E92 M3 are all considered “lacking” in torque for their class. So how do we get MOAR power?(1.) Brake-horsepower is commonly used by countries outside the U.S. and denotes the engine’s power at the tires of the car, not at the crank. Notice in the old Formula 1 engine crank I posted below how short the strokes are. The author showing off what torque and horsepower do together to tires. A naturally aspirated engine has a maximum compression of 1 atmosphere (atm) of air at sea level, that’s the most it can do assuming everything is perfect. It’s important that this air is “cool” too, since gas becomes denser as temperature decreases, and thus you can stuff more oxygen into the same volume.Your Valves on the engine also have an effect since they control how much air enters. A: They don’t really have more torque than conventional combustion engines, it’s more about the delivery of its performance that people are amazed by. Instead, I’ll just summarize the basics that are accepted as fact by everyone. Horsepower: James Watt came up with the concept of horsepower — which is a measure of, interestingly enough, power. But can it take it........I mean......how long do you expect a 2000 HP Honda engine to last before it throws a piston through the hood or oil pan? Power really only applies to speed. It launches off the line every time under control even with the 390lbft of tq in my light car on unrated tires lol. There are still a number of diesel engines around, especially in the pickup market, but there’s some bad blood there. A pound-foot is the moment of inertia on an axis that applies one pound of force at a radius of one foot. A: Well, the auto industry tried that, and...yeah. Is that true? Got a pro tip? That’s why we have transmissions, to multiply the torque from the engine enough that we can move our vehicles.
So what really is the difference between torque and power? Because the EV delivers its max 774 lb-ft of torque at 0 rpm, it can out-accelerate (2.4 seconds to 60 mph) the 1,100 lb-ft Bugatti (2.5 seconds to 60 mph) because the Bugatti doesn’t hit peak torque until 1,180 rpm.

If you want to compare how quickly two cars can accelerate, most people use power/weight ratios.
The Porsche 911 model lineup shows clearly that as horsepower increases, cars accelerate faster and zero to 60 times go down. How much torque is going to the wheels? your car’s 0-60 mph figure. The more horsepower you have at your disposal, the faster you’ll be able to push your theoretical car in terms of top speed, i.e. High revving engines need fast piston speeds. How do I get a higher revving engine?Us car guys obviously love more power, since we can go faster. What is horsepower? down below!
Torque is a little more finicky, as what really matters is where peak torque arrives and how long it’s sustained. As I said earlier with the cruise ships, they may have thousands of Horsepower but the forces of their own weight and the friction of the water they pass through means they can only chug along at residential speeds for cars. now in my case I could use a lot more power and torque. It might impress the high school kids but when it means something they're stuck roasting the tires while the smart racers are long gone. The result is one second. Watt could then apply this formula to his steam engines and determine how much more effective they were compared to the hay-eating, sleeping, big ole pooping horses everyone used at the time.
