The two quantities are measured or derived separately and then combined to give the statistic. It's the weight of the vehicle divided by the maximum horsepower of the engine.

Horsepower-to-weight ratio is calculated by dividing the power output of an engine (measured in horsepower) by the weight of the vehicle. It is a simple mathematical equation that gives an indication of a vehicle's performance capabilities based on its power-to-weight ratio. The higher the ratio, the better the acceleration and overall performance of the vehicle.

How many kg does a discovery 3 weigh?
None. A discovery 3 has a mass that can be measured in kilograms, or a weight that can be measured in Newtons, but not a weight that is measured in kilograms: a kilogram is not a unit for measuring weight.
In the metric system what is weight measured in?

Everything is measured differently according to it's weight/volume ratio
What is the power to weight ratio of a top fuel dragster?
Four and 1/4 horsepower for every 1 pound of vehicle weight. The car weighs approximately 2,100 pounds without the driver. Engine horsepower varies mostly to the conservative side, but a good figure is 8,800 horsepower hence a 4 to 1 ratio.
Is the power of engines measured in hydraulic power or horsepower?
Engine power is measured in horsepower.
Is power the same as weight?
No, power and weight are not the same. Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, measured in watts or horsepower. Weight, on the other hand, is the force acting on an object due to gravity, measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.
What do you mean by torque weight ratio of an indicating instrument?
torque/weight ratio of an instrument indicates sensitivity.if a pointer is having less weight, it will be having high torque/weight ratio so that even for a very small deflection pointer starts moving and indicates measured value.
How are cars measured?
There are many ways to measure cars. Weight, horsepower, dependability, gas mileage, cost, safety, etc.
Work is measured in these?

At around 11,500 rpm, the horsepower is approximately 150 at the crank. At the time it was produced (2000-2001) it was the lightest and best bike in weight to power ratio bike on the street.
What is considered a high performance car?
Depends on the power to weight ratio, but typically if its over 350 horsepower it probably can be called "high performance".
How is power measured in an engine?
Power is measured in both torque and horsepower.
The ratio of the weight of air to the area on which it presses is called?
