Seem to recall that the WRX PPP 02 was 265bhp, which in turn was 262PS.

As the Yanks would say "You do the math !".

Your math would be wrong then because PS is worth less/more whatever way you work it!

265ps would be about 262bhp

1PS = 1.017BHP

Quick example = Civic Type R

197BHP x 1.017 = 200PS

1.01387. So: 200PS = 197.26394BHP

A metric equivalent to (imperial) brake horse power. One BHP is equal to 1.01387 PS.
