10 Cars With Crazy Power-To-Weight Ratios
Since we've been driving the incredibly light Zenos E10 S this week, it got us thinking about cars with incredible power-to-weight ratios. Here's a list of 10 such cars that combine power and lightness to devastating effect
Zenos E 10 R - 350bhp, 700kg = 500bhp/tonne
Porsche 918 Weissach Package - 886bhp, 1640kg = 540bhp/tonne
Caterham 620R - 310bhp, 572kg = 568bhp/tonne
McLaren P1 - 903bhp, 1547kg = 584bhp/tonne
Ferrari LaFerrari - 950bhp, 1585kg = 599bhp/tonne
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - 1184bhp, 1888kg = 627bhp/tonne
Ariel Atom 500 - 500bhp, 550kg = 909bhp/tonne
Koenigsegg One:1 - 1341bhp, 1360kg = 986bhp/tonne
Hennessey Venom GT - 1244bhp, 1244kg = 1000bhp/tonne
Caparo T1 - 575bhp, 470kg = 1075bhp/tonne
Comments
Actully koenigsegg one:1 is 1360 bhp 1322 kilos
Doesn’t the Caparo add up to 1223bhp/tonne? Something wrong with mathematics..
Hey where is Escudo? 😁
Someone did the math incorrectly on the caparo, supposed to be 1223hp per tonne according to my calculations
I’m the only one who think the caparo = RedBull X2011 from GT ?
I always thought the Koenigsegg One was the specific Koenigsegg that used the engine as an electric generator; to power the 4 electric motors placed on the wheels from 0-60mph. After that, it engages the mechanical power from the engine directly to the rear differential, as if it only had “one” gear. No transmission needed.
So the Hennessy is the real one:1?
It’s powerful enough to rip your face off and inside out 10 times over
I think the Ultima Evolution should be in this list as well. The supercharged Version wheigts 950kg and has 1020PS.
