Questions and answers

Which sedan has the most torque in the 1CARS catalog?

The Porsche Taycan (Taycan I · 2019–present), with 1,340 Nm (988 lb-ft). Second is the BMW 5 Series with 1,000 Nm.

How is this ranking compiled?

Each model appears once, with the highest peak torque quoted for any of its versions, in newton-metres (Nm) with pound-feet (lb-ft) next to it. Trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles have a list of their own.

Why is a model missing from the list?

A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
