for your cars horsepower a certain top speed is possible, this is Top Gear, but your acceleration would be too slow so inbetween gears are fitted.

<<>> A car engine is inflexible, the torque is roughly constant so the power output is roughly proportional to the revs per minute. At slow speeds the gearbox allows the engine to turn faster to allow the car to accelerate well.
