What Is the Power-to-Weight Ratio?
The power-to-weight ratio is the ratio of a vehicle's power to its weight. It is an important metric showing the vehicle's acceleration and performance potential.
How is it calculated?
How to Calculate?
Ratio = power ÷ weight (e.g. HP/ton or kW/kg)
- Enter the vehicle's power and weight.
The higher the ratio, the more nimbly the vehicle accelerates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does weight matter?
At the same power, a lighter vehicle accelerates faster; that is why weight is reduced in performance vehicles.
