Otherwise, if one were to calculate using "ton" (2,000 lbs), you get 956 hp/ton.  If you calculate using "tonne" (1000 kg = 2200 lbs), you get 1052 hp/tonne, which is what is claimed.

More important to top end is shape, and although the 7 is very slick and small, it is not too aerodynamically inclined. A quick look at wiki reveals that some early 7's (lotus back then) had a Drag CD of about 0.65-0.75, which is quite frankly miserable. But this thing also has 550 horses, but they are combined with the (hopefully) high downforce front wing, so maybe you'll get 150 or 170? Still, that's not the point. This thing would be unbelievable 0-60. And a beast around the track. Hope it has a rear wing too, they're gonna need it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2008 9:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Caterham RST-V8 Levante cracks the 1000 bhp per tonne mark, scares children]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/caterham-rst-v8-levante-cracks-the-1000-bhp-per-ton-mark-scares/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/caterham-rst-v8-levante-cracks-the-1000-bhp-per-ton-mark-scares/</guid><description><![CDATA[How do you even get a 2.4L v8?
