What is torque (in terms of cars), and why is it important (in layman terms)?
How does torque differ from horsepower?
While torque and horsepower are related, they are not the same thing. Torque is the twisting force that gets the car moving, while horsepower is the rate at which work is done over time. In simpler terms, horsepower is how fast you can go, whereas torque is how quickly you can get there.
