torque

A measurement of force by a twisting motion. In an engine, torque is the twisting force at the crankshaft measured in pound-feet (lb.-ft.). One poundfoot is the force of one pound acting at a right angle at the end of an arm one foot long. Simply stated, torque is the engine force that gets a vehicle to speed--felt especially at off-line take-off and during acceleration.
