I know people who've got a discount of 90k on the on-road price of 1.6 i.e, 5.4L-0.90L = 4.5L. Now, 4.5L becomes the on-road price after discounts! If you simply consider the registration+tax = 50K, then the equation is:

4.5L - on-road,
4.00 - (excluding reg & tax)

So, 4,00,000/100 = 4000 INR/BHP !!!

Note: If you calculate with accurate figures, the result is < 4000!

Yes, everybody can see that FIAT is currently the best bang for the buck, but let's hold our leashes. Please stick to Ex-showroom prices. Every manufacturer gives discounts, and they are different in different parts of the country. That would make this thread extremely complicated.

I guess because at that level you're paying for a whole lot more than power alone. Intangible things like exclusivity and bragging rights are terribly expensive.

How would the American Muscle compare against the Italian Horse Power in this department? Oh i wonder... lol

On a different note, cost per Nm (torque) will be better measurement. You you rev any engine high, bhp will go up but torque won't
