What is the Weight to Horsepower Ratio?

The Weight to Horsepower Ratio is a measure of a vehicle's performance, calculated by dividing the vehicle's weight by its horsepower. A lower ratio indicates better performance, as it means the vehicle has more power relative to its weight.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ WHR = \frac{3000}{300} = 10 \text{ lbs/hp} \]

The Weight to Horsepower Ratio is 10 lbs/hp.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ WHR = \frac{4000}{500} = 8 \text{ lbs/hp} \]

The Weight to Horsepower Ratio is 8 lbs/hp.
