Method and data

Each model appears once, with the highest power output of any of its versions in our catalog (or of a generation when no version has a figure). Power is given in kW first, then PS and hp. The decade is the year a version, or its generation, went on sale, so a long-lived model can appear in more than one decade. Rows without a “Specs” link take the figure of the generation. How we collect and check data

Ranked: 91 of 1,149 models in the 1CARS catalog have a figure for this list.
