Engine Size, Cylinders and Torque
Had a look at torque numbers for a SL65 AMG, supercharged 6 liter V-12; 604 hp and 768 lbs-ft.
I realize it is supercharged thus the high torque. This got me to wondering. Would a 6L 4 cylinder, 6L 8 cylinder and 6 liter 12 cylinder engine, all internals the same, produce the same torque, the only difference being the number and size of cylinders?
BTW, thats the full 768 lbs-ft at 2,000 to 4,000 rpm!
The car weighs 4,400 lbs or twice as much as a Cobra. Would a Cobra with half the torque and half the weigh be equally as fast?
