Zero to 60 Mph in 3.4 Seconds
New designs introduced here at the Geneva Motor Show are pushing small engines further than ever, allowing street-legal vehicles to rival race cars in performance for a fraction of the price. The trend was already visible last year with the introduction of the Lotus Elise, which is capable of zipping from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds on the strength of a 1.8 liter, 189 horsepower engine. Models debuting this month set an even higher standard. The Lotus Europa S harnesses 200 hp in a 2.0-liter engine for a zero to 60 mph acceleration of 5.5 seconds. And then there's Porsche's new 911 Turbo: Packing 480 hp into a 3.6-liter engine, it can rip from zero to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. # posted by masquerader @ 13:11 ::
