peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1dynamics Explanation: I understand it as a consistent manner of driving without abrupt reactions of the car, just flowing and would simply translate it with "dynamics". Below the translation of "Fahrdynamik": driving dynamics. Reference: http://www.dict.cc/?s=dynamics |

16 mins confidence:
dynamism Explanation: I would avoid dynamics and opt for dynamism. Audi, for example, uses the phrase "power and dynamism" quite a lot for their FSI engines. Examples: An FSI engine makes better use of the fuel than a conventional engine with indirect manifold injection: it delivers more power and dynamism. FSI engines deliver more power and dynamism than the conventional power plant with manifold injection This enables the FSI engines to develop more power and dynamism with lower fuel consumption.

4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2drive, brawn, horsepower, h.p., acceleration; (slang) oomph Explanation: I'm frequently confronted with this IMO lazy & redundant usage when I translate for a motorcycle manufacturer, so I understand your dilemma. While the literal translations do work (sort of), if you're looking for something else, grab your thesaurus and look up alternatives for "power(ful)" and "vigor". You'll find drive, get-up-and-go, driving force, horsepower, h.p., acceleration; (slang) oomph, muscle, etc., etc. Hope this helps, Beth in Salzburg |
