Unhappy audi worst for transmission losses.

Just read that audi as three models out of the bottom five cars for transmission loss, the worst of which being the mighty RS4 v8 418 bhp quoted 345 at the wheels!.Bugger.

Under 20% so pretty good as far as most are concerned...

That is pretty damn good for a awd vehicle. Most people seem to put the scooby at 30% loss, be interesting to see how many people's peak flywheel bhp rely on that figure to make it look good.

Not according to that website.

Shows an STI with 303 ps at the wheels.

Which begs the question, are all the Scoobynet R/R power claims pie in the sky, as they will be seriously overstated using a higher estimated transmission loss?
