Rupees per BHP! Cars with most bang for the buck

I did a similar analysis, Bhp per Lakh, a while ago. Not sure it helped me in deciding on City S-MT, but it was interesting analysis nonetheless.

An interesting metric and point of view!
Each of the 140 BHP in my Yeti cost me around 12 - 13 odd Grand at the price I paid for the vehicle.
But I guess this is a rather crude sort of calculator as there is so much more one gets for the bucks one spends.

Can we include motorcycles?

The RE Thunderbird
$$$ = 1,25,000
Bhp = 19

So it works out to a whopping 6579 Rs for each BHp

But torque figures would give you a lot of satisfaction when compared to all other 2 wheelers.
IIRC, its 42 Nm of pulling force, right?

not car category

but KTM Duke 390
Ex-Show INR 1,80,000

INR 4,090 per BHP

Well, let me start with my Liva Diesel.
6L ex-showroom chennai. It has 68Bhp.
So, it is Rs.8823/Bhp
Well , it is on the pricier side!

2. Liva TRD - Rs.6.6L (Chennai)
90 BHP. So, it is Rs.7333/BHP , It's much cheaper than the Diesel Liva!

3. Toyota Prius - Rs.30L (Chennai)
It's got 100bhp. So, it is Rs.30,000/BHP!! Frigging expensive!

From my stable:

1) Maruti Ritz VDi
OTR = Rs 6,00,000 (This is what I bought it for)
BHP - 74
Rs/BHP = 8108

2) Hero Honda Karizma

OTR = Rs 82,000
BHP = 17
Rs/BHP = 4823

Cheers,
Anurag.

Fiat Linea Tjet+
based on OTR price of 10.8 lac, 112bhp,
INR/bhp = 9643

Pulsar 220 , 86k , 19.7bhp
INR/bhp = 4397

On the flip side, what car would have the worst Rs/Bhp value?

Cheers,

My Bolero MrDicR, Jan 2012
BHP: 63
Ex-Showroom: 6,82,000
Rs/BHP: 10825

If figure out Rs/BHP for the On-road price i.e. 7,60,000
RS/BHP comes out to be whooping: 12063
Though you never experience power in a bolero. In fact, it should be the torque we should calculate for Bolero/SUV.

Ex-Showroom: 6,82,000
Torque: 195
Rs/Torque: 3497

ATUL SINGH · 29th July 2013, 18:30

Versa DX 2003
Rs. 4.06 lacs in Sept 2003
bhp 82

Rs.4951/bhp

Comparable to bikes dudes

Beat that
