Engine and Performance The 2018 Vauxhall Adam 1.4 Slam is powered by a 1.4-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 100 PS (98 bhp) at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine is designed to offer a balanced mix of performance and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for both urban driving and occasional longer trips. The 1.4 Slam accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 10.5 seconds, which is respectable for a car of its size. Its top speed is around 115 mph. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, which offers smooth gear shifts, although a six-speed manual is available on other variants of the Adam for improved cruising comfort at higher speeds. The front-wheel-drive layout ensures good handling and road grip, which, coupled with the sport-tuned suspension, provides a responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
