I have personally seen a 4 bhp car
93.5 bhp
The BhP of the car is 64
Brake Horse Power
The 160 bhp engine has quite a bit more power, and is probably less economical.
1115bhp by the koenigsegg Agera R
A 2008 version of the Formula One car produces about 750 bhp (approx. 90 bhp per cylinder). The 2004 version (3 lit., V-10 engines) used to produce horsepower in excess of 920 bhp and towards the end of the season, it was reported that some teams, most notably, the Williams-BMW could produce about 980-1000 bhp!!
there isn't a best ratio of torque and power. You must find the ratio for your application because it depends if you are going to use this as a 1/4 mile car(low torque, high bhp) or a hill climb car(high torque.low bhp). My opinion: more power of either type is better!
1183 bhp
Bugatti Veyron. 252 MPH 1001 BHP
Rally cars are limited to only 2.0 litre engines, yet they are fitted with gigantic turbochargers that can give them up to 300 bhp
Ford Escort Diesel 1.2 litre 50 bhp
