Just had a call from my dealer
 

Yippee, they are delivering my new car on Tuesday. Vectra SRI 150.

Can anyone tell me what the feck PS is a measure of?. Is it more or less that of a good old fashioned brake horse. At least you can't metrificate a horse. They are the same here as in froggy land or is a PS a weak froggy horse. Well whatever it is I get 150 of them with 320 whatever (NM?) of torque.

Already told the lad that the insurance won't let him near it. Lie of course it is insured for any driver, but I being blamed for spoling his fun.

1 PS = 75 kp·m/s = 0.73549875 kW = 0.9863201652997627 hp (SAE)

Roughly speaking of course!

What he means is that a PS is a "midges" shy of a hp :lol:

To Convert Bhp to PS (hp DIN) Multiply BHP By 1.0139

To Convert PS (hp DIN) to Bhp Multiply PS By 0.9863

HTH

What's what I said. :wink:

just take the figure as bhp its easyer because none are accurate anyhow :roll:

Y'see, we all know what fast cars really mean. :wink: :P

A PS is a Kraut horsey, not a Froggy one.

PS = PferdeStarke.
