That's 10,000 Nm (aka 7375 ft-lbs) wheel torque. The hellcat has 650 ft-lbs engine torque. First gear in the hellcat is 4.71:1 and rear axle ratio of 2.62:1, which gives you 8021 ft-lb at the wheel at torque peak. In second gear, we have 5347.
So, a small car with more wheel torque than a Hellcat in 2nd gear, nice!
Edit: Used incorrect ratios, updated.
- aunty_helen 9y agoGenerally wheel torque would be quoted in the gear that gives you a 1:1 (or close to) ratio. Hence in a lot of cars a dyno run will be done in 4th gear as higher gears are generally overdrive gears. Also your calc is missing the final drive ratio.
