[cactusbob]

power to weight ratio = power / weight

So is it kerb weight of 1375kg divided by 225bhp = 163bhp per ton please feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

197.3bhp per tonne with RS Tuning Remap

Car is 222bhp not 225 (225 refers to ps). Multiply 222 x 1.01387 gives 225bhp. Therefore 1375kg gives a power:weight ratio of 164

Or should we do the calc be based on
Say a Full fat 5 door giving 222bhp at the flywheel :-

(A) Kerb Weight (Excluding Driver) (kg) 1375

OR

(B)Gross Vehicle Weight (kg) 1820

Whats the difference in gross weight and kerb weight (apart from 445kg)
in that why quote a difference anyway and what does it represent.
shouldn't it be calculated on the gross weight anyway?but it seems the kerb weight is the commonly used formula how come ?

I thougth that the is it 225 bhp or ps question was cleared up by the experts on www.renaultsport.co.uk and they claimed that the car was definetly 225bhp

you get BHP in american or in UK, american bhp is SEA bhp and UK bhp is DIN/PS bhp.

so in American the RS will be 222 and UK the RS will be 225

You'll see the first page is all the info of the Renault 225 and the second page is converter page very nice page.

hope it helps....

Thx.

Evo mag quote it as 166

 

[Doc883]

This was taken from the renaultsport website:
Maximum Power - kw ISO (hp DIN) 225 (165)
Me thinks they (renault) have it the wrong way around Not the 1st time they have made an arse of details on their website - does no-one proof read it :roll:
Should be 165 Kw and 225 hp DIN !!!
I have often seen 225hp or ps (not brake) and 222bhp quoted.
Clear as Mud then
