    This is from a magazine article about the performance characteristics of a new car.

    Can anyone help with "Durchzug". I've used "acceleration" but am unsure

    Durchzugskraft, Durchzugsvermögen = pulling power or traction power

    It's not just acceleration but flexibility in mid-range.

    Hi,

    ich finde hier Durchzug ein bißchen deplatziert. Vielleicht ist das auch eine Agilität.
    Wenn wirklich dann "Throughtrain"...jokemodus aus...

    passing time
    It is also referred to as 'flexibility'.
    Of course, comparison only makes sense if the gear which is used is indicated.
    Comment
    In GB and in the US they have 40 - 60 mph passing times, or sometimes 50 - 70 mph passing times.

    acceleration I'd say - whether from 0 to 60 or 50 to 70 e.g., see:

    Wenn wie in der Anfrage der "Durchzug" von 80-120km angesprochen wird, ist damit in den gängigen Autozeitschriften die "Elastizität" gemeint ( so z.B. in Auto Motor und Sport, Autozeitung usw.

    Der Durchzug von 80 auf 120 = the 80 - 120 acceleration time

    Also called "in-gear acceleration time" if you don't change gears, which is normally the case. The figure gives you an idea of the flexibility (torque) of the engine.

    @#5 + #6: Exactly, which is why I said in #1:
    It's not just acceleration but flexibility in mid-range.

    flexibility = Elastizität

    It depends on the context maybe, but "Mid-range acceleration" is apparently also used:
    "Mid-range acceleration is simply staggering – 30 to 50mph, for example, takes a mere 2.7 seconds."

    petrol heads often use the word "torque" for this. This word has an exact physical meaning but informally it means that the engine has a wide rev (rpm) window in which you can easily accelerate (so you no#t need to change up gear so quickly.

    #9 Well, 'torque' is a different thing, but it is certainly closely related to the mid-range acceleration.
    The peak torque is mostly indicated in Pound-foot (lb-ft) or (metrically) in Newtonmeter (Nm), whilst the rev-range is added.
    Comment
    I sometimes read 'intermediate acceleration'.
