Powertora turns your iPhone and a Bluetooth GPS sensor into a rolling-road dyno. Do one full-throttle pull followed by a coast-down on a quiet road, and Powertora calculates your car's real power and torque curves โ crank-equivalent, in metric PS โ from how it accelerates and how it slows. No rollers. No dyno shop. Just your car, a GPS sensor, and a stretch of road.

Powertora does the physics. Measuring is free โ upgrade to Pro for the full tuning workflow. Powertora Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; a subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, managed in your Apple Account settings.
