Guides
- Brake horsepower vs shaft horsepower (and wheel hp, PS and kW) What bhp, shp, whp and PS actually measure, why a car's power figure changes depending on where it's measured, and how to compare them.
- 0–60 mph vs 0–100 km/h: how acceleration times compare Why 0–60 and 0–100 times differ, a quick way to convert between them, and the quickest cars in our database.
- Towing capacity explained: braked, unbraked and the weights that matter What a towing figure really means, the difference between braked and unbraked limits, nose weight, payload and combined weight.
- Same car, different names: rebadged cars around the world Why a Toyota Starlet in South Africa is a Suzuki Baleno elsewhere, and how badge engineering works across markets.
Where the numbers come from
Engine and power figures come from the European Environment Agency's 2025 type-approval records, covering 270 engine and power combinations. Torque, acceleration, top speed and each version's details come from manufacturer specifications. Dimensions come from those and the Dutch vehicle registry, US fuel economy from FuelEconomy.gov, and model histories from Wikidata. We match each car across markets by hand, so a Toyota Starlet in South Africa links to the Suzuki Baleno it is built from.
