115.2kw at the wheels
115.2kW is the value my car happened to put out at the wheel to road interface. The 140kW value given by Honda is the fly wheel power. This is the power generated at the engines flywheel. It is also not exact, as some engines will come off the production line producing slightly more than 140kW, and others will have less.Quote:

Hence the power to the ground is always less than at the flywheel.
The loss is slightly greater in a car fitted with an automatic transmission as there is no mechanical interface between the clutch and flywheel. The rotational forces of the engine are transfered to the drive train through a fluid coupling which is generally less efficient.
Thx! good technical knowledge learnt!Quote:
