Leistungsstarken

Leistungsstarken is the inflected form of the German adjective leistungsstark, which means high-performing or powerful. The base combines Leistung (performance) and stark (strong), and the word is used to describe objects, systems, or components that are capable of delivering high performance. The form leistungsstarken is typically seen in attributive position before a noun in plural or in certain cases of the plural, depending on determiners and grammar.

In practice, leistungsstarken appears in phrases such as die leistungsstarken Geräte (the high-performing devices), mit leistungsstarken Motoren (with high-performance engines), or leistungsstarken Sportwagen (high-performance sports cars). The ending reflects German adjective declension rules and is common after definite articles or other determiner phrases that require the weak ending in plural. Other related forms exist, such as leistungsstarke for plural nouns without a determiner, or leistungsstarker in masculine singular before a determiner.

Usage context for leistungsstark and its declined forms is widespread in technology, engineering, business, and marketing, where high performance is a key attribute. The term connotes reliability, speed, efficiency, or capability, depending on the specific subject. While commonly used descriptively, it is not a technical standard in itself but rather a qualitative descriptor.
