400bhp per ton
erm, divide the power by the weight (200/500)x 1000 i think

surely 500 kg x2 = 1000kg ( 1 ton)
200 bhp x2 = 400
surely 400 bhp/ton

I always do it this way, will get the same result:
One ton, divided by your car's weight, then multiply by your power.

1 ton = 2240lbs equivalent to 1016.064kg
1 tonne = 1000kg
bhp per tonne = bhp/tonnes

tonne is metric, therefore 1000kgs
ton is imperial and 2240lbs
Both answers are right, just depends whether you want metric/imperial.
Metric easier to work our as:
1000kg
--------------------x bhp
your car weight (kg)

A "Tonne" is metric and a "Ton" is imperial so what the chaps are saying is that with 500kg and 200bhp you have 0.4 bhp per
kilo so 1 "Ton" = 1016 kilos, not 1000 kilos therefore:
0.4 x 1016 = 406 bhp per "Ton" or 400 bhp per "Tonne"
See?
