How much horsepower does it take to do a wheely in car?

It is not possible to quantify a specific horsepower requirement for performing a wheelie in a car, as the power required depends on various factors such as the car's weight, weight distribution, drivetrain configuration (front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive), torque output of the engine, tire traction, and the driver's skill.

In general, performing a wheelie requires enough torque and weight transfer to lift the front wheels off the ground. Generally, a high-powered rear-wheel drive car with the appropriate weight distribution and a skilled driver can perform a wheelie with relative ease. However, attempting wheelies is dangerous and should only be performed in a controlled environment by experienced stunt drivers.
