High/moderately Powered Vehicle Exemption

[66yostagea]

Funnily my P son has an exemption to drive an RS4, a High Powered Vehicle. I now want an exemption for him to drive a Moderately Powered Vehicle, an R32 GTST.

DOT, that used the Wiki info to get the RS4 exemption, now want info from the maufacturer re the power/weight ratio. It seems no other source of the info will do.

Any clues will result in my undying gratitude.

I'd say he got it for the rs4 cause it's a 'family' car not a 2 door sports coupe..

That's being said tho you may get it for the 32 depending on its power to weight ratio..

Ticket from a public weighbridge?

Letter from a Nissan Dealer

Do you have access to a workshop manual (hard copy or on-line)?

The RS4 came into the High Powered Vehicle at the time but is now only 106.17 kw/tonne.The 32 is 119.69.

Have emailed Nissan to see if I can get the power/weight on a Nissan letterhead, which is what DOT is asking for

Thanks for the PDF. It does not have the GVM listed. More research needed.

I calculate power to weight using kerb weight in my job but if they don't like it...

Sorry also could you post whether the application was successful? My missus is getting her P's soon (she's not that young, settle down Internet) and we only have my R34. Seems a little silly she can do all her learning on the vehicle and then when she's finally qualified to drive it's suddenly too dangerous for her :S

Posted today. Will let you know when the exemption comes through.

My P2 son has an exemption to drive our RS4, so your missus should be able to get one.
