Abstract
An apparatus and a method for fast accelerating a vehicle which converts to a fast acceleration mode, wide-opens a throttle valve, increases the torque of a transmission, locks up a transmission after gearshifting a transmission to a high gear position if the torque of the transmission reaches a predetermined value, and converts from a fast acceleration mode to a normal acceleration mode if a brake pedal is depressed. In the fast acceleration mode, a fuel-air mixture is injected into the engine asynchronously and the throttle valve is wide-opened. A vehicle can be accelerated quickly by just a narrow depression of an accelerator pedal. The apparatus comprises a mode switch, an accelerator pedal sensor, a first control unit for controlling a vehicle under a normal acceleration mode, a motor for wide-opening the throttle valve, and a second control unit for controlling a vehicle under a fast acceleration mode.
