But VW says the engine is producing somewhere between 1001 and 1051hp (European scale), so 1000hp is accurate in both cases.TheCleaner said:Xeon SX said:2.8 to 60? not 2.5 to 62 as they claim...
as you can see its quoted to having 987bhp as opposed to the 1001 which might explain is slighty slower (laughable to use the word slow at all) 0-60

1 second reaction time is a bit excessive though. Don't why they need to include a transition, it's not like that is differnet for each car.Redliner said:Blythy said:someone can't add, 5.5 + 3.4 = 8.9s
I don't know about Autocar, but Road & Track calls this extra time "transition time", that is, the time it took to stop acellerating and start stoping.
8.9seconds would be the theoretical time, the actual time is longer.

FFS!! Why don't they just make a Universal measure of car power. It would make it so much easier for a community such as ours
