I'm swamped with work so during a break to take my mind off it, I thought I'd create this thread. What I'm looking for is how much power your daily/weekend/whatever has in regards to its kerb weight and displacement. Aspiration doesn't matter towards the number, but would be nice to have as a footnote in the spreadsheet.

I'll start:

2004 Audi A4: 175hp (130.6kW) at 1.896 litres and 1350kg makes it:

68.7 kW/l and 96.7 kW/t

Now you go! :)

EDIT: Here's the spreadsheet. I feel so alone.

2013 Citroen ds3: 120hp (88kw) at 1,598 litres and 1215kg makes it:

55,06 kW/l and 72,42 kW/t
 
1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee 275hp, 375lbft at 5.981 litres - ~1900kg with armour, tools, and recovery gear.

46.0 hp/l, 62 lbft/l and 144.7 hp/t, 197.4 lbft/t


Strong candidate for lowest hp/L! :lol:
 
I am no longer alone!

We'll see about that. Currently you're in the lead with power/weight. :mrgreen:
 
In before Viper!

1970~2011 Lotus/Caterham 7, 150 hp, 1.7l, 550kg, although I have yet to dyno it after I messed with the engine...

1985 E28 528i is supposedly 135kw, 1320kg, but I have my doubts :p

Its not letting me edit the spreadsheet. Or do you want all the replies here?
 
Replies in the thread, please. Would love to open the sheet to outside editing, but that could just have someone ctrl+a and delete.

I have enabled commenting, though.
 
Fair enough.

Here all the numbers, I'll leave the calculating to the spreadsheet.

2013 Mustang - 313kW, 5.0L, 1643kg
1992 Miata - 87kW, 1.6L, 1027kg
1996 Cherokee - 142kW, 4.0L, 1392kg
 
Also
2002 Aprilia SR50 Ditech (moped): 3,3kW at 0.05L and 108kg makes it:
66kW/L and 30,56 kW/ton
 
2015 M235i - 320 hp/239 kW (yeah, right), 3.0L, 1550 kg

I'm too lazy to put my wife's GLK in this.
 
Cherokee has an I6 :p
 
As usual, I'm cheating.

2010 Mazda RX-8 R3: 232 hp (173 kW), 1308cc, 1388 kg

For this one I seem to get different answers depending on who I ask.

1989 Toyota Blizzard SX5: 85 PS (62.5 kW), 2446cc, 1480 kg

Write it down, then. :p All I know of American engines is they make really power inefficient V8's. :p
 
1994 Land Rover Discovery: 111hp (83kW) and 195 lbft at 2.495 litres and 2055kg makes it:

45 hp/l, 78 lbft/l and 54 hp/t, 95 lbft/t

33.3 kW/l and 40 kW/t

I lose!

You wish!

That is quite pathetic power/displacement for a turbo. o_O

Yes. And due to its unique running situation it's currently way down on power (I quoted factory spec) <_<
 
'14 220i, 2.0 184hp I4. 1517kg. :cry:

Planning to JB4 it this summer.

Need weight and displacement, as sad as you think they may be. :p
