Power to Weight Ratio

The power-to-weight ratio is a key performance metric. Lower numbers indicate better performance. A ratio under 10 lbs/hp is considered excellent for sports cars.

Metric to SAE HP

Metric horsepower (PS) is commonly used in Europe. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) horsepower is the standard in North America. 1 PS = 0.98632 HP.
