  1. ChinnuWoW How is it irrelevant? They are about the same subject, by the same person...they are very much relevant in inturpetating his comment!

  2. ChinnuWoW ?

  3. yea right...they would have jumped on it long ago then and made billions...Ford is just as lazy as any other none koeningsegg manufacturer :P

  4. Marc Monson Maybe because they would have an engine with 30% more HP than the competition...

  5. What is cooler?

  6. The longer the stroke is the lower the redline will be! A 4 Liter I4 would get horrible power ratings! A 2 liter V8 would get good power ratings as it could have a redline of around 10krpm, but would be complex and expensive to make!

  7. It is a mid engined car

  8. Turbos outlast the car, N/A engines usually rev higher, that means more maintenance. And the throttle response is not that much beter in a N/A engine, I`ve tried both and Turbos are just more fun :) The power surge is so fun when moving up into higher RPMs :D And then you have all the wonderfull sounds it makes <3

  9. Robert Hancock But way less boost than a turbo ;)

  10. You`ll grow to love it when you find actual practical use for it ;) Believe me!

  11. Torque is not a problem if you have a smooth power line in a broad RPM range, for example a Turbocharged car who has good power from 2750RPM through 7000rpm, that is certainly enough to accelerate an automobile...Torque is just a number, just take a look at the power curve, then you know whats up! Then you do some calculations if you have a broad enough powerband to play with.
    1
  12. ***** hmmm how come most rally drift cars are turbocharged? Maybe because they use anti-lagg and modern turbos ;) Thing you old fella wouldn`t know about! Now down the track or everyday road the lagg is not a problem as you can predict it on known roads and tracks, it is only when you drive on an unknown road you might be a bit slower.

  13. It will only affect power and efficiency. Nothing will break :P

  14. anusheadproductions How often do you think they fail?

  15. in a sentence: It has enough electric motors to compensate. In two sentences: The combustion engine of the car has enough power and power band, combined with the electric motors it is enough. At slow speeds it compensates with a hydraulic clutch (Commonly known as a torque converter).
    1
  16. Well, if you are technical :P (It uses the electric motors for reverse, no ICE reverse)
    1
  17. Hellboy13994 Nope, in Europe we use HP (which is WHP), I know BHP is crank power, that is why it is not an issue, only in `murica!
    1
  18. adidasboy132 Still depends on the frontal area of the car.

  19. Yes, but that was aimed at how it actually works and drives.

  20. No problem :P

  21. something1random23 Horsepower is a messurment of energy flow rate, torque is only force. There for torque isn`t relevant when talking about engines as you usually use a Transmission to alter the torque! The only thing relevant is the HP Curve.
    1
  22. something1random23 How is torque relevant when you accelerate a car?
    1
  23. something1random23 No, without horsepower you get no where....torque is irrelevant, the power band (The graph of HP) is much more relevant. Spikes or low low end power is an issue, lower overall torque isn`t Come back when you have taken your first physics class...torque is a marketing trick.
    1
  24. something1random23 But you do not move without Horsepower ;) Go troll somewere else! torque is only the force, you need speed to move things...I do not like to stay stationary! If torque is relevant why do F1 engines produce 150-250Nm torque and still go faster than any car on this planet? Because torque is not relevant when accelerating a vehicle...you use a Torque multiplier (the transmission) to creat sufficient wheel torque... Learn some physics man...it aint that hard.
    1
  25. something1random23 ....why speak of torque when you can speak of a actual unit of power? Haha, you know more about physics? Well, tell me Einstein, why does Truck engines Have 1000-2000 Nm torque? Is it A, so they can tow heavy loads, B Because Diesel or C Because it comes as a side effect of having optimized the engine for lower RPM for beter MPG.
    1
  26. something1random23 Wrong, right answear is C, they are optimized for low RPM as that increases their efficiensy. Thats all folks, this troll can go somewere else now :)
    1
  27. something1random23 Torque is still irrelevant, and you are still talking about yourself ;)
    1
  28. ***** No no no, heavy high torque engines are made to run at full power for several thousands of hours! That is the difference, you could run a car engine in a truck but it wouldn`t last as long.
    1
  29. Yea, but just add more pressure and shorter durations ;)
    1
  30. That is the problem, If I had a 6.0liter engine I would want it to have atleast 500HP, idealy 750HP, because that is what they are capable of! With 4 valves per cylinder and with a turbo respectivly. Then you add some Multiport injection and other goodies to make that engine have a smooth smooth smooth torque curve :D
    1
  31. F2H At a reasonable A/F ration, pump gas, and a "normal" torque curve? No...
    1
  32. krazytoneride Yea, but being 172 cm tall I shouldn`t say anything about that being tiny or not xD But I am rocking an agressive density :)
    1
  33. marksuave25 Yea, but isn`t Jason like 6 foot plus too? Wonder if he has any problem? I don`t remember him complaining.
    1
  34. marksuave25 And she hasn`t that light skin lol. He is just a troll, don`t let him get to ya :P

  35. The Regera has no gearbox, it uses a torque converter and electric motors instead :)
    1
  36. ***** Google Torque converter. The engines locks at about 40-50km/h and then slowly starts to rev and tops out at 450km/h. So basicly from 0-50km/h it uses the torque converter and the electric motors, after that it the Torque converter locks and the engines starts to rev slowly. If you want more acceleration the Torque converter can unlock and the engine uses the converter as a gearbox.
    1
  37. wabi sabi It is a torque converter, not a clutch. But nothing special, the electric engines are though :P
    1
  38. wabi sabi So 700HP extra power is not special with ability to torque steer?
    1
  39. wabi sabi No, you cannot do that without utsing multiple engines...
    1
  40. Not as it seem as of now, the first car to reach 300 mph seems to be a hybrid car, for example, the Regera has 1500hp thanks to its electric motors, mounting a pair to the front wheels would give it the 300-400hp it needs to hit 300 mph, so that is my best bet. But as Koenigsegg doesn't go for top speed as of yet it doesn't seem likely in the near future. Besides rubber is not handling 300 mph very well yet. Fastest production turbo diesel is still under 200 mph...long ways to go for 300 mph!
    1
  41. Because developing that sort of motor and battery setups costs millions and more millions...and what do they get in return? A car with a 200 miles range that is bulky as hell. It will take like 5-10 years before some one with a lot of money does it. Lithium polymer batteries can put out around 20Kw/kg but ut takes up a lot of volume to do so!
    1
  42. Huh? Which carburated production car has ever gone even over 200mph? Yea...none!
    1
  43. With 5000HP that wouldn't be a problem would it?
    1
  44. Ehm no? A ICE engine has around 30% efficiency. An electric motor has 90% efficiency...that is a 7 time difference!
    1
  45. No...if you have an motor that is 90% efficient at 100kw 11kw of heat will be created :) If you have a 100KW engine that is 30% efficient at 100kw it will create 233Kw of heat. You can confirm this by drividing the total power by the mechanical power, 333Kw/100Kw=0,30=30% So actually the electric motor creates 95,3% less waste heat than a ICE engine. Or 21,18 times less :) Sorry for my brain fart :P

  46. And what do they all got in common? Poor handling and shitty safety ;) Carburators belong in museums!
    1
  47. Still means power is what matters.
    1
  48. Nope, HP determines how fast you tow and gearing and vehichle mass determines how much you tow.
    1
  49.  @uNabL3  TQ matters as much as RPM...but all you need to know is how much HP you have. Maybe if you ha a engine with 1 ft/lbs at 525,200 rpm you would get into the limits of gearing, but still, with enough gearing you can move anything! How fast is up to how much HP you have...not just TQ...

  50.  @jamesthehandsome8582  Huh? Your are very wrong.
