The One to One challenge

[Hermann95]

I'm shure most of you know the Koenigsegg 1:One, a car with an horspower:kg ratio of 1:1.
This challenge is about achieving the same(or even better) in Automation.
Please post screenshots of your approaches here.

Took me pretty long to figure out what body to take but now i've done it i was even able to increase tyre width a little bit and still make the 1:1 power to weight ratio.




Of course we can argue about the sense that this car makes... no downforce, RWD only, 966hp, no TC or SC, no ABS, 205 section tyres... THIS... IS... WHEELSPIN!!!
BUT it makes the 1:1 power-to-weight

[Junny]

Its actually 1kw to 1kg.... a vastly higher achievement

[Jakgoe]

No, the Koenigsegg is 1hp to1kg.

[Junny]

No, the Koenigsegg is 1hp to1kg.

I actually just looked at it.... Who the hell mixes Imperial and Metric measurements just to make a claim like that =\.... why couldn't they just stick with the 1 Megawatt claim.

[Der Bayer]

Horsepower is not per definition imperial. There is a metric horsepower, too (used in most parts of Europe and it's used more often than kW). All you can say is that horsepower is not a SI unit.

[Junny]

It's not technically but most Metric users also use Watts not Horsepower as a general rule, I assume most places in Europe could mix it up but from what i could tell Sweden is Metric. I not saying it's wrong/bad im just saying it seems like marketing gimmick(which it obviously is considering the thing is name 1:1)

[Killrob]

Sweden uses horsepower "hästkrafter" for the most part, they are a bit strange up there with their "mil" which is exactly 10km. So no surprise they do such unmetric marketing.

I thought I would bring a touch of class to this challenge and try to pass with the most luxurious car possible:


Nothing but the best for my customers:


And you could just about class the engine as possible to put into production. I could have made it more powerful but I wanted a somewhat reasonable power band and for the car to run on almost any petrol it could find. The MTBF would have been higher too if you could fit more cooling on the front of the car.
Its also a bit of a shame that the giant top end power completely kills the comfort rating, despite there being 5000RPM worth of smooth low torque

[Deskjetser]

My power to weight ratio: 1.1:1 kW per Kg or 1.5:1 hp per Kg

Uses a 'balls to the walls' Inline 6 with 1.2mW or 1600hp of F.U. power from just 4.5L. Oh and in case you are wondering, the top speed is limited by about 60mph

This is not as extreme as it may get, but certainly I don't think I could get much more in the way of power for engine bay space. It's a tongue-in-cheek variation of my fastest track monster yet, which will shortly be tilting at the test track leaderboards.

With 1571.2kw (2107hp) and weighing just 1302.8kg (which I could easily chop down if I made it RWD and took out a couple of cogs), it has a kw:kg ratio of 1.21, or a hp:kg ratio of 1.62! I put in so much aero on this crazy ride that you can still drive it around the track without ending up flying backwards through the pearly gates on fire (to quote Clarkson), though it's nowhere near as quick on a track as my real Time Attack car, which has a hp:kg ratio of 1.21, due to the extra drag from ventilation.

As you can see from the screenshot it's good for a little over 370km/h on the long Daffy Flyer! Who knows what would happen if I tried to make it a landspeed record attempt vehicle...
