Norwegian term or phrase: bunndrag
Bilen har skikkelig bunndrag.
What is "bunndrag" in English please? I don't think a literal translation (bottom drag) is correct.

Explanation:
Bunndrag is a colloquial way of saying that a car has a lot of low end torque. Note that you need to have a lot of "bunndrag" before you can call a car a torque montster. "Skikkelig" may be enough to do it.

Example sentence(s):
  • That car is a torque monster
