Average bhp across your car history

[tomsimes]

Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 8v - 45 bhp
Vauxhall Corsa 1.6 16v - 120 bhp (modified)
Skoda Fabia vRS - 160 bhp (mapped)
Honda S2000 - 240 bhp
Skoda Octavia vRS TDI - 225 bhp (mapped)

790 bhp total, average of 158 bhp. Although I do now have the 1.6 Corsa again at 110 bhp, so the revised average is 150 bhp...

[lucido grigio]

No idea.
37 cars owned.
Most powerful,tuned Escort Cosworth,approx 300 BHP,never verified in my ownership.
Least powerful probably a 1976 mini clubman 1.0.

[edo]

way too many to do this!

I think the 1.0 Polo fox would be the lowest and the current M5 at circa 570bhp would be the most.

[Manners2001]

218bhp - over 9 cars.

Somewhat skewed by the Pug 107 station run shed at 68bhp and my first car a 1.4i Ford Escort at 73bhp.

Need another 400+ bhp beast on the drive!

[RobM77]

I won't fair well with this because I don't like heavy cars, but here we go:

Citroen AX GT - 85
Toyota Celica Carlos Sainz - 201
Toyota MR2 mk1 - 122
MG Metro race car - 115
Caterham 7 VVC - 156
BMW 325i - 192
BMW 330ci - 231
Lotus Elise 111S - 156
Caterham race car - 118
BMW 328i - 190
BMW Z4 Coupé - 265
BMW 320d - 163
Lotus 2-Eleven - 260
Formula Renault - 200
BMW 320d ED - 163

Average power: 174.5bhp

average power to weight ratio: 197.5bhp/tonne.

[akirk]

per tonne is an interesting figure - will have to update my spreadsheet!

21 cars
total = 59.7 litres & 3,591 BHP
average = 2.84 litres & 171 BHP

not helped by having owned a series 1 / 2 / 2a landrovers and a couple of classic MGs - though one did have the engine upgraded!

[AJB88]

248bhp average across 6 cars.

[CBR ST]

Toyota Aygo 1.0 - 68
Ford Fiesta 1.25 - 82

Average of 75HP.

Must be a record

[16v stretch]

Hmm,

Car	HP
2001 Ford Fiesta 1.3	59
2003 Ford Focus 1.8	115
1990 VW Corrado 1.8	136
2004 BMW Z4 3.0	231
2007 Renault Laguna 2.0	150
2014 Infiniti Q50 2.2	175
2017 BMW 340 3.0	320
Total	1186
Avg	169.43

Which equates to 37hp per cylinder average, and 0.08hp per CC average (roughly)

[veccy208]

112hp

Thought I'd be worst but not by a long way!

[hoegaardenruls]

The average went up for me when started buying turbocharged cars, especially when the cylinder count went from 4 to 6..

1981 Metro 1.0L - standard - 46 bhp
1981 Mini 1.0HL - modified - 70-80 bhp (engine swap)
1992 Metro 1.4S - standard - 75 bhp
1992 Clio 1.8Rsi - standard - 110 bhp
2002 Audi S3 (1.8T) - modified - 260 bhp
2000 Audi RS4 (2.7) - modified - 470-480 bhp
2009 911 Turbo - standard - 480 bhp
2012 911 Turbo S - standard - 530 bhp

Total (approx): 2050 bhp,

Average: 255bhp

[Calza]

1.1 Punto = 55bhp
1.6 Punto = 90bhp

1.8 Integra = 190bhp
2.0 Megane R26 = 305hbp
