This is because you're comparing maximum torque. The actual graph is likely unlinear and this is where the Tesla is winning.

- mpyne 13y agoIndeed if there's one thing electric motors in general do very well, it's to produce lots of torque at a much wider range of speed than an ICE.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoCorrect. An electric motor can output its full amount of torque from 0 RPMs; this is where an ICE falls down (and hence, the need for an expensive transmission).
- sliverstorm 13y agoThe Tesla probably also didn't have to shift. You can hear the Aston had to shift at least once.
- gilesvangruisen 13y agoAh I see; that makes sense. I don't know much about mechanics. I just like pretty cars.
