Pickup (acceleration, 0-100 km/h)

In Indian usage 'pickup' means how quickly a car gains speed. The standard measure is the time from 0 to 100 km/h in seconds; lower is quicker. In everyday driving, how strongly a car pulls from 40 to 80 km/h in gear matters more, and that depends mostly on torque.
