this is a question for you techs out there ??
is PS BHP ??
the new sti is quoted as 265 PS so does this mean its 265 BHP

greasemonkey this is probably a question for you !!

sti-04!!

 

not quite...my Jap WRX is quoted as 250 PS which equates to 247BHP

 

Googled and found this Conversions

261 BHP then !!

i think a RR is defo due when it reaches its 1000k or does it loosen up l8r in life ?

problem is i dont no when to get PPP

 

i think ps is where car manufacturers just round up or down to the nearest 5. cos whenever i have seen them quote its alway quote a round number. like my wagon is 217bhp but 220 ps this could be bol*ocks though!!!!!!just an idea

 

can take 10K for an engine to become really loose

 

PS is like .97 bhp or something like that.

 

PS or "continental horsepower":

Which stands for "PferdeStarke" - the German translation of "horse power".

This measure was chosen in Europe as being the closest thing to a horsepower that could be expressed in nice round metric units - 75 kilogramme metres per second (to be exact). It has been subsequently adopted by car manufacturers - Unfortunately, there has been a tendency for it to be implied that it is the same as bhp, although it is actually a slightly 'smaller' unit of power.

The defininative calculation:

PS = 1.01387 * BHP

Therefore, PS is about 98.6% of bhp.
