Having problems reading it 'cos it's in foreign, but is that 218 horses? Blimey! what's even more crazy is the air temperature is 32 deg C. Imagine that on a cool damp night....

[GF ORCE8]

that`s exactly what i thought imagine... around 10°C and 280 Nm aren´t bad too i remember.. they had to rise the peak power to 200HP cause the 192 were not real and now that what`s next.. will they have to claim 215 HP but maybe it`s a single case.. however this guy cvan be really happy... think he´s got the strongest stock VXT or is there someone with 220+

[cheeky_chops]

Probably wrong , but aren't they using Newton meters (Nm) and Kilowatts?? (kW) as apposed to lb/ft and bhp??? Metric continent and imperial uk/us??

[GF ORCE8]

Yes your right we use Newton meters and Kilowatt 1 kW=1.36 HP(don´t know if there´s a diffrence to bhp but don´t think so)

[Lo VXT]

Yes there is a diffrence : 1 BHP = 1,0139 HP

[jneill]

Yes there is a diffrence :

1 BHP = 1,0139 HP

I think you probably meant to type

1 BHP = 1.0139 PS (the metric BHP)

Well spotted, but don't worry and do what the car makers do and quote in PS! Besides, it doesn't matter down the pub... It's still 215bhp is damn good in my book... Anyone got similar figures for a NA Vx????? Pleeeeease.....
