What is the top speed of the Q50 Red Sport?
My brother is planning on buying a Q50, and it looks like a really fast car. What’s the Q50 Red Sport’s top speed?

It’s always good to take an interest in what your family is doing—especially if that means potentially taking their new sports car for a
test drive
! The Q50 Red Sport has a top speed between *150** and 160 mph, but the exact performance of a car depends on a few factors:- Aerodynamics—the faster a car goes, the more air it will need to move out of the way. Because of that, sports car manufacturers aim for sleek bodies to shift the air more efficiently.
- Gear ratio—the car’s engine only provides torque; it’s the gears that turn it into speed. A higher gear ratio means that the car can achieve higher speeds more easily.
- Engine power—your car won’t be going anywhere soon without an engine powering it, and the stronger an engine is, the more torque it can produce.
Hopefully, this will give you a better idea of how cars reach such high speeds, and maybe you can use your knowledge to convince your brother to
loan his car to you
. Of course, before you hit the road, you’ll need to make sure that your car insurance is up to snuff. To do that quickly, just use the Jerry
