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

How is this ranking compiled?

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.

Why is a model missing from the list?

A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
