For the purpose of manageability, this list is limited to production cars that have at least 600 kilowatts. Car models with higher-powered variants are listed only in their most powerful incarnation (for example, the Agera RS would be listed in place of the standard Agera, although the Agera makes over 600 kW).
For the purposes of this list, a production car is defined as: Being constructed principally for retail sale to consumers for their personal use, and to transport people on public roads (no commercial or industrial vehicles are eligible);
A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines.
Unfortunately, according to Carter, these cars demand high maintenance costs, with a significant number of them necessitating engine or electrical repairs around or shortly after reaching 100,000 ...
Diesel engine (naturally aspirated) – 33.4 kW (45.4 PS; 44.8 hp) per litre – 1993 Mercedes E 300 diesel 100 kW (136 PS; 134 hp) DIN 2.996 L OM606 I6 Diesel engine ( forced-induction ) – 100 kW (136.0 PS; 134.1 hp) per litre – 2020 BMW Alpina D5 S 3.0 L I6 triturbo 300 kW (408 PS; 402 hp) [ 30 ]
The list includes cars that have not yet been made, others that were modified, and some that were purely racing cars. I think that rather than arguing about which cars should or should not be on the list a further column be added which states what the cars status was when the power output was measured - ie: pre-production, manufacturers estimate, production, race car, modified car, Joe the ...

Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.
