    Best (and worst) BHP/£

    Land Rover Freelander 4x4 2.0 Td4 HSE Estate £24,630, 110 BHP Score = 224

    Honda Civic Type-R £15,995, 197 BHP Score = 81

    divide cost by bhp to get score; lower = better; new cars list price; stock bhp

    any better/worse???

    this is the cost per "horse" I think, rather than bhp/£

    mclaren f1 680bhp £600,000 882 (approx figures I nkow but hey... )

    I win

    And I thought this was about list price Well lets see, I paid a little over the odds for my latest car due to utter impatience and a factory fitted RS kit

    Sierra estate - £600 / 150bhp = 4.

    What's the cheapest NEW car you can get at the moment? Gotta be something pacific rim.
