German term or phrase: durch einen unglaublichen Antritt aus dem niedrigen Drehzahlbereich.

Sein 103 kW (140 PS) starker Vierzylinder überzeugt vor allem durch einen unglaublichen Antritt aus dem niedrigen Drehzahlbereich.

Could someone please just explain in other words what exactly is meant by "Antritt aus dem niedrigen Drehzahlbereich". Is it accelerating from low revs?

Very many thanks in advance!
