Default Worzels New Work Wheels
After watching the M3 go last weekend

I have finally picked up my more sensible work car today. I grabbed a couple of pics on the phone on the way back to work.

Big thanks to Moley, for doing me a stonking deal on the insurance and getting me sorted so quickly today, much appreciated mate.

Cheers all

It drives really well and has got a nice little amount of grunt to be going on with.

I like the stealthy look of it too, no stripes etc.

Inside, it really is quite a nice place to be

Yeah mine kind of felt a bit gutless on the drive home after feeling a few blasts of acceleration in Hughs.

sorry for hijacking this thread worzel and defo looks fun.

This is really bugging me now.
what is it with car manufacturers stating there vehicles power in PS ?
the BHP is actully less than the PS ie 200 PS = 190 BHP (example)
could somene explain this?

Good point and very true.

Why on earth is there 2 "standards" for power? Thats just stupid really.

Is one a Euro directive? As in Kilometres and Miles?

Bleeding Belgian ****ers (just in case it is them )

Some car manufacturers still quote a power output rating called PS, which stands for Pferdestärke (literally, 'horse strength'). It's alternatively known as DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung ) hp as opposed to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) bhp.

PS is a slightly higher figure than the SAE bhp that we quote, so that's where the discrepancy creeps in.

As a rule of thumb, you can knock off one PS for every 100PS to reach a rough bhp figure. If you want to be completely accurate, multiply the PS figure by 0.9864 to reach the bhp total, or bhp by 1.0139 to get back to PS.
So it looks like its the bloody Germans, not the Belgians.....

Just had alook on the interweb and 1 PS = 0.987 BHP so if the focus power output is 225PS then it has roughly 222 point something BHP but who cares really? It's a beaut of a car full stop
