What is HP to Weight Ratio?

The HP to Weight Ratio is a measure of the performance of a vehicle, indicating how much horsepower is available per pound of weight. A higher ratio means better performance, as the vehicle has more power relative to its weight. This ratio is crucial for understanding the acceleration and overall efficiency of a vehicle.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ HPWR = \frac{300}{3500} \approx 0.0857 \text{ hp/lb} \]

The HP to Weight Ratio is approximately 0.0857 hp/lb.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ HPWR = \frac{450}{4000} \approx 0.1125 \text{ hp/lb} \]

The HP to Weight Ratio is approximately 0.1125 hp/lb.
