Method and data

Power-to-weight is the peak power of a version divided by its kerb weight from the same specification, in kilowatts per tonne. Each model appears once, with its best version. Makers measure weight differently (EU kerb weight includes a 75 kg driver, a dry weight has no fluids), so treat small gaps with caution. How we collect and check data

Ranked: 301 of 1,149 models in the 1CARS catalog have a figure for this list.
