Half of every Legacy on the road is below this. Power divided by mass in running order — the one figure that compares across model and era.
There are 2,988 of them on Dutch roads, built between 1991 and 2017, weighing anywhere from 1,190 to 1,801 kg. They share a name and not much else. Here is the spread.
Half of every Legacy on the road is below this. Power divided by mass in running order — the one figure that compares across model and era.
A typical Legacy has more power per tonne than 82% 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.
The slowest in this sample makes 59.3 kW per tonne and the quickest 137.2 — a factor of 2.3 between two cars wearing the same badge. Any single number for a Legacy is an average over that.

Asking the server…
Everything above describes 2,988 cars sharing a name, spanning 1991 to 2017 and 1,190–1,801 kg. Your Legacy 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.
