Among these eight manufacturer-listed 2026 examples, the two-door Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack has the highest calculated output per starting MSRP: about 11.2 hp per $1,000. The gasoline Dodge Charger Scat Pack follows at 10.0 hp per $1,000. These are comparisons of stated horsepower and starting prices—not a verified ranking of the ten best new cars, or a measure of overall value.
The available manufacturer figures establish eight examples, not ten comparable cars. Prices and outputs below are for the specified models and trims; prices are U.S. starting MSRPs before any exclusions noted by the automaker. Figures are based on the cited manufacturer pages and announcements available in 2026; confirm current pricing and availability before shopping.
How horsepower per dollar is calculated
Divide a vehicle’s stated horsepower by its starting MSRP in thousands of dollars. For example, 550 hp divided by a $54,995 starting MSRP is approximately 10.0 hp per $1,000. This makes the comparison easy to scan, but it is only a ratio of two published figures. MSRP is not necessarily the transaction price, and automakers’ price exclusions differ.
To keep the inputs aligned, the table compares the stated output and starting price for each named trim—not the cheapest model price paired with a more powerful, more expensive version. The resulting ratios are rounded to one decimal place.

2026 examples ranked by stated horsepower per starting MSRP
| Model and trim | Powertrain | Starting U.S. MSRP | Stated horsepower | hp per $1,000 MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, two-door | Battery electric | $59,995 | 670 hp | 11.2 |
| 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack | Gasoline | $54,995 | 550 hp | 10.0 |

| 2026 Dodge Charger R/T | Gasoline | $49,995 | 420 hp | 8.4 |
| 2026 Hyundai Elantra N | Gasoline | $35,300 | Up to 276 hp | 7.8 |
| 2026 BMW M2 | Gasoline | $69,000 | 453 hp | 6.6 |
| 2026 Acura Integra, base | Gasoline | $33,400 | 200 hp | 6.0 |
| 2026 BMW M3 Sedan | Gasoline | $79,300 | 473 hp | 6.0 |
Sources and price qualifications vary by vehicle: Dodge’s Charger Scat Pack announcement says its MSRP excludes taxes, title, and destination; Dodge’s Charger R/T announcement says price excludes tax, title, and fees and identifies the standard-output 3.0L twin-turbo SIXPACK engine. Ford’s Mustang specifications list the EcoBoost Fastback price and 2.3L EcoBoost output; the Fastback is distinct from the convertible and higher trims. Hyundai’s Elantra N page lists MSRP excluding freight, tax, title, and license, and says premium fuel is required to achieve estimated maximum horsepower. Acura’s Integra specifications report SAE net horsepower; the base Integra figure here does not use the separate Type S trim’s 320 hp and $53,900 price. BMW’s M models page provides the M2 and M3 figures; verify the exact configuration and whether destination is included before treating either starting price as an out-the-door cost. The Daytona figure is the manufacturer-stated output shown for that model; it is not adjusted here to match another vehicle’s power-rating convention.

It is not an overall value score
A high ratio means more listed horsepower for each $1,000 of starting MSRP. It does not establish quicker acceleration, better handling, reliability, lower running costs, safety, or better quality. Nor does it account for equipment, body style, drivetrain, fuel economy, or what dealers actually charge.

Power ratings can be harder to compare across powertrains
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports average new-vehicle horsepower of 258 hp for the 2024 model year and a preliminary 264 hp for the 2025 model year in its 2025 Automotive Trends Report (published February 2026). The EPA cautions that horsepower can be difficult to determine for battery-electric vehicles with multiple motors and can be more complex for plug-in hybrids because of their engines, motors, and control strategies; those estimates may have higher uncertainty. That caveat matters when comparing published ratings across powertrains, especially where manufacturers’ definitions or conditions may differ.

How to use this list when shopping
- Compare the exact trim and body style you would buy. A higher-output trim can change both the price and the ratio substantially.
- Check what the quoted MSRP excludes, including destination, freight, taxes, title, license, or dealer charges; the exclusions are not uniform across these sources.
- For the Elantra N’s estimated maximum horsepower, account for Hyundai’s premium-fuel requirement.
- Use the ratio as a first-pass screen, then compare the factors it leaves out—such as operating costs and independent performance or reliability evidence—on their own merits.
- Recheck the manufacturer’s current model-year pricing and local inventory: listed starting prices and availability can change.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
