victoria p plate power to weight ratio

In Victoria, P‑plate drivers are restricted from “high‑powered” cars; the key yardstick is a power‑to‑mass ratio over 130 kW per tonne.

Anything above that is off‑limits, and vehicles with performance‑increasing modifications are banned too; turbo or supercharged engines are generally prohibited unless they’re diesel.

Use the VicRoads checker for the exact vehicle before you hand over cash, because trim, model year and kerb weight can tip it either way.

Keep it sensible, keep your licence, and save the hero car for later. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
