  2. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    Modern automobile engines are typically operated around 2000 rpm – 3000 rpm (33 Hz – 50 Hz) when cruising, with a minimum (idle) speed around 750 rpm – 900 rpm (12.5 Hz – 15 Hz), and an upper limit anywhere from 4500 rpm to up to 10 000 rpm (75 Hz – 166 Hz) for a road car, very rarely reaching up to 12 000 rpm for certain cars (such ...

  3. Idle (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(engine)

    Idle speed, sometimes simply called "idle", is the rotational speed an engine runs at when the engine is idling, that is when the engine is uncoupled from the drivetrain and the throttle pedal is not depressed. In combustion engines, idle speed is generally measured in revolutions per minute (rpm) of the crankshaft.

  4. Engine displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement

    It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the power (through mean effective pressure and rotational speed) an engine might be capable of producing and the amount of fuel it should be expected to consume. For this reason displacement is one of the measures often used in advertising, as well as ...

  5. Tachometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachometer

    A tachometer (revolution-counter, tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) is an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. [1] The device usually displays the revolutions per minute (RPM) on a calibrated analogue dial, but digital displays are increasingly common.

  6. Power band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_band

    In this case, unless external limitations are applied, the maximum torque is achieved at low RPM. For example, the AC motor found in the Tesla Roadster (2008) produces near constant maximum torque from 0 to about 6000 RPM, while maximum power occurs at about 10000 RPM, long after torque begins to drop off. The Roadster's redline is 14000 RPM.

  7. Chrysler Pentastar engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Pentastar_engine

    The Chrysler Pentastar engine family is a series of aluminium (die-cast cylinder block) dual overhead cam 24-valve gasoline V6 engines introduced for the 2011 model year in Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles.

  8. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight (or mass) of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. Power-to-weight is often quoted by ...
