Acceleration to 100 in Lotus Elise
Acceleration to hundreds is an important indicator of a car's power. The acceleration time to 100 km/h, unlike horsepower and torque, can actually be “touched”. The vast majority of cars accelerate from zero to hundreds in 10-14 seconds. Near-sports and souped-up cars with touring engines and compressors are capable of reaching 100 km/h in 10 seconds or less. Only a few dozen cars in the world are capable of reaching one hundred kilometers per hour in less than 4 seconds. Approximately the same number of production cars accelerate to hundreds in 20 seconds or more.
Acceleration time to 100 km / h Lotus Elise - from 4.6 to 6.5 seconds.
