A lighter car is not necessarily faster than a smaller car, as it depends upon the power of the vehicle. If the question is asking whether a smaller or lighter car is necessarily faster than a larger car, again the answer is "no". The larger car can easily be more powerful.

Is a bigger car faster than a smaller one?

Not necessarily, it depends on the power plant.


Why does a heavier car go faster then a light car?

A heavier car does not necessarily go faster than a lighter car. In fact, factors such as engine power, aerodynamics, and tire grip have a more significant impact on a car's speed. A lighter car may actually accelerate more quickly due to its lower weight.


What is faster small car or big car?

It is the power to weight ratio and aerodynamics that makes one car faster than another, not necessarily it's physical size.


If a car weighs less will it go faster?

yes, try fibre glass bonnet and smaller lighter wheels, makes a big difference. have a friend that races his integra type r, he has all the seats out etc. not even a stereo! The first answer is fine, of course we are assuming that the first automobile has a steel frame ( very often ) and the fibre glass bonnet & other improvements are being compared to a car with the same engine.


Would a smaller toy car go faster then a larger one down a ramp?

yes because it is smaller and friction will be smaller so it will go faster!


Why are smaller wheels better for a mousetrap car?

the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,


Are bigger cars faster?

not necessarily. bigger cars have more weight so they are not faster but sometimes a big car with a powerful engine like the V8 engine can be faster than a small V4 engine car


Does a heavier balloon car go faster?

No, a heavier balloon car does not go faster. The speed of the balloon car is determined by the amount of force produced by the balloon pushing the car forward, not by its weight. In fact, a lighter balloon car may actually travel faster because there is less mass to accelerate.


The smaller the car the quicker the car?

No. The "Bugs", or "Beetles, the WW. The Lamborghini is faster than the Bug. Chevorlete Corvetts are waaaay faster than Kia Souls.


A heavy toy car will travel further than a light toy car?

Not necessarily. The distance a toy car travels depends on various factors like the force applied, the surface it's moving on, and the friction. A heavier toy car may have more momentum, but a lighter toy car may be able to move faster with less effort.


Are cars with bigger engines faster than smaller engine cars?

Yes, they usually are, but it can differ from car to car. For example, a Chevy Suburban is faster than a smart car because there are more pistons in the engine, creating more torque and speed, therefore making the car go faster. On the other hand, however, a motorcycle is faster than most cars, yet they have smaller engines.


Is it true the smaller a car engine the faster the car?

No this is not true at all allot contributes to the speed of a car but a small engine is not one of them
