Performance French Car Magazine - 200 power figures..

[Eddyg]

Anybody else seen this in the magazine? Was just flicking through it and they had their 200 producing '215' hp at the fly and '186' at the wheels..

This just a case of fiddling the transmission losses or have they done something to it?

Its the yellow 200 towards the back of the magazine...

186 at the flywheel sounds more realistic but who knows.

[lbrench]

yeh i saw this! had a quick read in whsmiths, quite impressive really

 

[Fred@BTM]

no chance in hell!

We seem to have the general consensus they make much nearer their quoted power than previous Clios....... But 215 bhp at the fly, I think not unless it is seriously modded

I just laughed.

I've stopped caring about power figures at the fly - my valver has made 152 and 123 at the fly on two separate trips to the same rolling road, fly figures mean nothing.

 

[lbrench]

this may sound stupid but why does it make differnt figures at the fly wheel than at the actual wheels?

always wanted to know

Transmission loses.

At the Surrey Rolling Road meet last month a 200 made 190 at the fly which is more realistic IMO
