How many BHP does it take for you to consider a car "powerful"? Gabz 26 Feb 2016 Previous At what age did you pass your driving test? Next Is it going to be an upgrade or a downgrade? Sponsored PostsComments my 2011 335i has a little bit over 300 Whp and 300lbs of torque and i think its fast as hell! For 1000 to 1200 kilos 250bhp is starting to be powerful. Then i remember the insurance and 115bhp sounds so powerful 😂 In a small hatchback, anything over 150bhp is pretty powerful. Heavier the car, the more power you need. it’s all about power to weight ratio I’d say 300bhp. Powerful. Doesn’t matter if lightweight or heavy. Ofcourse weight to hp ratio matters but 300hp is powerful for any weight. Except a Unimog 😊 More about experiance…. for a new driver a 90hp car feels powerfull 210 hp My car has curently 98hp so 200 would be “powerful” :P 300+ 200-300 depends on weight Pagination Page 4 Next page Next Page Previous page Prev Page Latest NewsNews The Audi Q6 E-Tron Offroad Concept Has 9883lb ft Of Torque (Sort Of)News Arctic Trucks Has Made The Toyota Land Cruiser Even BeefierGaming Play TDU Solar Crown For Free On Xbox This WeekendNews This Genesis GV60 Has Snow Tracks, Because Why Not?News The Shelby GT350 Is Back With 810bhpFormula 1 Fancy Owning Michael Schumacher’s Old Ferrari F355?Subscribe to our NewsletterGet the latest car news, reviews and unmissable promotions from the team direct to your inboxFor more information see our Privacy Policy Leave this field blank Latest ReviewsReviews Porsche Macan EV Review: A Good EV, And A Decent PorscheReviews 2025 BMW M5 Review: Right Car, Wrong BadgeReviews Porsche Panamera Turbo Review: You Really Don’t Need That CayenneReviews Mk8.5 VW Golf R Review: Sensible And SensationalReviews 2024 BMW M4 Review: Now AWD-Only, But I Don’t MindReviews MG Cyberster Review: Electric Isn’t Its Problem
