Simply put, the size of the car makes quite a big difference.
Put it this way, a Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa motorcycle is capable of reaching a top speed of 208 mph, however it accelerates to that speed very quickly. Now the Hyabusa has 156 hp from the factory. The weight of a Hyabusa is around 500 pounds depending on the year. It travels from 0-180 mph in 15.6 seconds.
Now a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 has a top speed of 210 mph, which is about the same as the comparison, it takes the Gallardo about 30 seconds to hit 180 mph from a standstill. It weighs about 3,500 pounds.
This doesn't include simple dimensions (height, weight, length), and drag coefficients, and plenty of other things that factor into it.
However, gear ratios and all that sort of thing have a lot to do with how fast a car will go or how fast a car will accelerate, but to answer the question, a 2 door sports car with the same engine as a 4 door luxury sedan will outperform the 4 door in just about every category performance wise. It's simple physics.

How does the size of a toy car affect its speed?
It would affect its speed because the weight of the car is gonna slow it down
How does the size of the driver affect the speed of the car?
the fatter you are, the less speed your car will max out at, but, the more weight, the more momentum
How does wheels affect a car's speed?
because the weight of your wheels and the size has wind Resistance on your car
Does wheel size affect its speed?
The wheel size does affect its speed.
Will the size of a toy car effect the speed of it?
Yes it will affect the speed of the toy car. Example: A buggy is easier to push without any groceries in it.
Does the height of a car affect a car's speed?
The height of a car itself does not directly affect its speed. However, factors such as weight, aerodynamics, engine power, and tire size can impact a car's speed. A higher car may experience more air resistance, which can affect its top speed and acceleration.
How does the type of tires affect the speed of the car?
The size of the tyre affects top speed by altering the gearing. Assuming the engine has the power, a larger size wheel and tyre (diameter) will result in higher top speed.
Does the placement of the wheels on a car change the speed of the car?
The placement wouldn't affect the speed, but would affect the handling.
Does the number of exhaust affect the speed of a car?
no
How material affect the speed of a car?
Weight
How does the model of a car affect its speed?
Aerodynamics, weight of the car, horsepower of the engine, are all factors in the speed the car can travel.
How does the weight of a car affect its speed?
The more weight the car has the slower it goes.
