torque to weight ratio? was created by Andy2640

Howdy guys and gals,

Does anyone know the calculation for weight to torque ratios please.

I keep hearing journalists say that the new Jimny doesn't have much power. But considering the weight of the jimny and the low range gearing etc, surely this statement is moot.

Appreciate any help with this, thank you kindly.

Power to weight = BHP divided by weight (86bhp / 1200kg = 71.66bhp per ton)

Torque to weight = Torque divided by weight (81 foot pounds / 1200kg = 67ftlb per ton)

I think that's what your after ?

Don't get too hung up on power and torque to weight ratios as they don't take into account the effect of gearing. You could have a thousand torque per tonne but if you are also gearing for a hundred mph in first you're not going to accelerate too quickly.

I would stop looking at any reviews or spec sheets and just go for a test drive, you will know straight away if a Jimny of any generation is for you or not. The Jimny is never going to win in a Top Trumps card game, but that's not why we choose to own one. :laugh:

Nice info guys, appreciated!

Yes done the test drive, love it! Just bugs me how inaccurate the motoring press have been on the new Jim. Mind due, this doesn't surprise me, just look at the BBC news and other non credible media these days;-) All media is BS ;-)

From what iv'e seen, the Jimny is absolutely savage off road! Its a beast!

Hear ya about gearing. Great advice, i'll just KNOW that I know.... how killer the jimny is, and feel the power :-)

Cheers.
