This hot-to-trot little number puts 260 horses into giddy-up mode surprisingly quickly by applying 269 lb.-ft. of whip from 1,850 rpm right up to 3,000. That's a lot more than its stablemates which use more displacement to put out just 176 horsepower and 168 lb.-ft. of torque.

2011 Kia Sportage Proactive All-Wheel Drive System - National Post, Toronto
The Sportage's new Dynamax all-wheel-drive system monitors both wheel speed and accelerator pedal input.
