Ratio of engine power to 0–60 mph (0–100 km/h) acceleration – which cars are the worst?


Accelete took a car’s acceleration figures and engine power and calculated a special ratio. Now we know that these cars are probably the worst on the market. They won’t accelerate well because the manufacturers didn’t work hard enough to choose a good engine. This is a true shame for the automotive industry.
