As far as accelerating up to that speed, it’s all about wheel torque. I’ve done the maths based on gearing, and the eight-speed Vanquish tops out at 201.5 mph in 6th gear. But you wouldn’t want a gear this aggressive to be in the car for highway driving, so higher gea...
Instead of accelerating slowly, the car responded as if I had pressed the accelerator all the way to the floor. I didn't even have time to react in order to press on the brake...the concrete wall stopped the car before I even had a chance. I am so grateful my children weren't in...
Your vehicle is a complex piece of machinery. The engine in particular can make a bevy of noises as it sucks, compresses, and ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The same can be said for the automatic transmission and suspension. But one of the most common complaints on older ...
So then she started accelerating quickly again and I started accelerating while looking over my left shoulder. There were no cars coming, but she stopped again. This time i drilled her. Just a little damage to her car, but my hood was stuck closed and headlight bashed in. Total of probabl...
The US Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) announced $29 million in funding to drive research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of low carbon intensity, purpose-grown energy crops critical to accelerating a clean energy economy. (DE-FOA-0003209) The Regional...
“My personal perspective, although there would never be a business case for it, would be a small, tiny, fast, agile, two-seater, that sets a new benchmark in that segment. A track car,” he replied. “It would be easily done, but it’ll never happen.” Hear that? That’...
If you can’t avoid hills, give descending cars in front of you extra space. Use inertia to help carry you up a hill by getting speed at the base, and avoid accelerating on the hill. Don’t stop going up the hill! Never use cruise control. ...
“Well, when you think it’s OK to drive like this: ‘…a racer could come through any corner or over any crest at limit-of-adhesion speeds, with two tires over the shoulder line and the other two right up against it…’, you’re right. Reality sucks, and this has nothing to do...
The device (110) has a sensor device (126) detecting a property of flowing fluid medium. A suction apparatus partly sucks a flow barrier layer at a fluid medium rush overable surface area. The sensor device comprises an ultrasonic transducer and a reflecting surface (154) to reflect ...
The electric mode has very little power, and when accelerating there is a noticeable “lag” before the gas engine kicks in. Once up, the gas engine moves the car fairly briskly. But that lag–it’s almost as if the car has to downshift into first gear–is not only annoying, it’s ...
