mk1 172 bhp at the wheels





166.6 HP at the fly. The French Hp is less than an UK HP. I know it sounds stupid its DIN vs whatever but thats what it works out as.
 


BHP (Brake Horse Power) or HP (Horse Power) is an imperial measure of power defined as 33,000 foot*pound/min, or 550 foot*pound/sec. The equivalent in metric units is 76.0402 kg*metres/sec.

The "metric" or continental measure of horse power known as PS (PferdeStarke) in german or CV (Cheval Vapeur) in french is a slightly different measure defined as 75 kg*metres/sec. One PS is therefore slightly smaller than one BHP, 1 PS = 0.98632 BHP

therefore a 172 makes 169.65bhp
 


yes, but officially (internally) they tend to come with 166bhp.

And they make circa 135-140 ATWs
