I think this is the maximum design weight is it not? Whch peeps put down as 450KG? per axle.

Could be wrong.

450 front 450 back 900 gross put Na in the other 2.

body type is sports.

to get the kw times the bhp by 0.74570000 it will be lower than the bhp fig.

remember these are nothing to do with the actual weight of the car they are the maximum weight each axle can take and the total weight the whole car can carry including its self, passengers and luggage.

you will only come a cropper if the car weighs more than the weights on the form.

If you have a local frienly MOT station with an ATL it will give you the axle weights on the brake tester and as said the axle weights add up to the DGW
design gross weight ie total weight of vehicle in its heaviest form,fuel/oil/driver/passenger.
