How does acceleration in car works?

When I push the gas paddle, the engine speed is immediately sped up like 3 time but the car is only accelerating slowly, what mechanism is it that make cars acceleration not like the ones like bikes where the “engine” speed is the synced with the wheel speed?

Not it doesn’t.

When you step on it in a regular, non-automatic car, the engine doesn’t rev into high gear. The rpm stays strictly proportional to the velocity. The exact proportion depending on which gear you’re in.

In an automatic car, who know what unholy shenanigans is going on in the “second engine”? Rethoric question. Don’t care.
