Torque to Weight:

If you agree with the late great Carroll Shelby then arguably an even better indicator of potential performance is Torque!. However, torque isn't the whole story, you also need to compare weight as well for more real world comparisons such as torque per ton.

The Koenigsegg Agera S 5.0 V8 Hundra generates around 573.1 lb-ft per ton. So if you're looking at what cars perform similarly either on the drag strip or at the traffic lights using torque to weight as a benchmark, then look no further than the 2019 Bugatti Centodieci 8.0L W16 64 Valve Turbo (597.4 lb-ft per ton) or the similarly performing 2019 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport 8.0 W16 Quad Turbo (595.9 lb-ft per ton).
