How many BHP does it take for you to consider a car "powerful"? Gabz 26 Feb 2016 Previous At what age did you pass your driving test? Next Is it going to be an upgrade or a downgrade? Comments I think 60hp would be enough, so i own a powerful car! All in the power-to-weight ratio. But generally I would say around 240-270. 350whp/1000kg around 220 Approximately 300-350 hp per ton is what i consider as powerful 1 to 4 so 250 hp to 1000 kg and up :) 300 bhp I’d say torque is more important in this case… 440hp and 860lb.-ft. of torque is something that’ll put sick skids on the road and in your pants In an average car above 200bhp sounds good to meBecause having too much power is useless if you can’t get it down on the Tarmac :) RWD from 220bhp Pagination Page 7 Next page Next Page Previous page Prev Page Latest News News What’s Kia Hinting At With These Shadowy Teasers?

I’d say torque is more important in this case… 440hp and 860lb.-ft. of torque is something that’ll put sick skids on the road and in your pants
In an average car above 200bhp sounds good to meBecause having too much power is useless if you can’t get it down on the Tarmac :)
