Power vs. weight matters! Use our calculator to compare data and see which one delivers the best performance.
The amount of horse power the vehicle has.
The vehicle weight in KG.
The power-to-weight ratio is the amount of power a vehicle has in relation to it's weight.
A vehicle with a higher power-to-weight ratio is likely to accelerate faster than a vehicle with a lower ratio. This is often why you find motorsports enthusiasts going through the process of weight removal on their cars.
This therefore provides us a simple, rudimentary method of comparing how vehicles might fair with each other.
The formula to calculate an the power-to-weight ratio can be seen below, this is what we use in the calculator above.
Power per 1000KG = (HP / Weight in KG) × 1000
