Power to weight usually means BHP per ton
Power output in Kilowatts is the european version of BHP
BHP needs looking at closely as some manufacturers show this reading from the crankshaft. The one that matters is what it produces at the rear wheel.

| Horsepower (hp, bhp) Abbreviated as hp, as in 200-hp engine, or bhp (brake horsepower or net horsepower) to designate power produced by an engine. In general, the higher the horsepower, the higher the vehicle's top speed. One horsepower is the power needed to lift a 550-pound weight one foot in one second.
