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?

The car is much much heavier than a person on a bike, so even though we might press on the gas and make the engine go “3 times faster “ it needs to do a lot more work to make the car actually start moving faster.
