the car probably weighs about 1300kg or more, so seeing a 313kw Focus is a bit of a trick with the extra weight

Could someone help me out?

I can't grasp that RX8's power, don't know kilowatts or Newton meters. Can anyone put it into hp and lbft?


Or just show me how to calculate the conversion?

The V8 Supercar's have to be i think a minimum of 1350kg without driver and 1435kg with driver....thats where Steven Johnson gets hit hardest, to hit the weight without him in it, with him in, its about 10kg heavier than it needs to be as hes pushing 90kg i believe.

270kw and 350nm are 360hp and 270 ft/lbs

Imagine how much fuel this thing would use. The normal RX8 has terrible fuel economy even compared with V8s.
