Calculation Methodology

Total Weight = Curb Weight + Driver/Fuel. HP per Ton = Horsepower / (Total Weight kg / 1000). kg per HP = Total Weight kg / Horsepower. lb per HP = Total Weight lb / Horsepower.

Frequently Asked Questions

A ratio exceeding 200 HP per metric ton (under 5.0 kg/HP or 11.0 lb/HP) provides rapid sub-5-second 0-60 mph acceleration.
