Frequently Asked Questions

The Power to Weight Ratio is a key performance metric that measures the power output of a vehicle relative to its weight. It's important because it indicates how efficiently a vehicle can convert its power into motion, affecting acceleration, speed, and overall performance. A higher ratio generally means better performance.
