Half of every 900 on the road is below this. Power divided by mass in running order — the one figure that compares across model and era.
There are 3,907 of them on Dutch roads, built between 1982 and 1998, weighing anywhere from 1,224 to 1,535 kg. They share a name and not much else. Here is the spread.
Half of every 900 on the road is below this. Power divided by mass in running order — the one figure that compares across model and era.
A typical 900 has more power per tonne than 81% of the 8,248,168 combustion cars in the Netherlands.
For the median version, from power, mass and body shape. A prediction, not a measurement.
From 56.2 to 99.6 kW per tonne across the sample, which is a tighter range than most model names cover.

Asking the server…
Everything above describes 3,907 cars sharing a name, spanning 1982 to 1998 and 1,224–1,535 kg. Your 900 has one engine, one mass and one registration. Put the plate in and the answer is about that car rather than about the name on it.
