CUPRA : RRI measures the power provided at the wheel hubs

[coxxic]

There are rumours around real output power pushed by CUPRA´s engine.
Manufacturer states engine power, but it is power "at wheels" what moves with car. We have to consider losses in transmission and etc. So when the measuring at the wheel hubs shows the same results as manufacter states, it must be because of higher REAL power produced by engine than manufacturer says. This is better case. But mostly, the power at wheels is less than manufacturer says - and we cant say any words against, because manufacturer states engine´s power.

And with losses in transmission we get what we get.

Take a look on how the RRI measures the output power.

I think, this is one of the most reliable source of information in this case

mentioned this before but couldnt find the link.

This is the most accurate figures we have on the true power output imo.

seems about right. wonder if they used 95ron rather than super unleaded.

The details tab says they used 98RON.
