Have read this and tell me what you guys think.

Toyota has quoted the Corolla sportvo as having 141kw at the flywheel. In a recent Motor mag they compared the:

Sportivo Corolla 141kw
Turbee Astra 147kw
Supercharged Mini 120kw
Ford Focus sporty one 127kw

As part of the test they dynoed all four cars and the corolla got the lowest figure of 87 front hoop kw whilst the astra got the highest with 100fwkw, the ford and mini in between with around 88 and 89 respectively.

Im just wondering whether the toyotas torque figure which is lowest out of the four contributed to the lowest reading, but if torque makes no difference then shouldnt the power at the flywheel be around the 120-130kw mark. So maybe Toyota is misquoting their power figures.

confusing..... Confused

It loses power though the drivetrain.

Kinda sucks dont it?
