One thing that is odd is that the power ratings of the cars are in KW not HP or BHP. A 300ZX that is on the cover of the magazine has 372Kw @ the wheels. I dont know what that is in Hp, my guess is it is alot.



1 KW = 1.3410 HP or
1 HP = 0.7457 KW

so 372kw are 498.9 hp




close -

1 HP = 760 W

372 W x 1000 = 372000 w

372000 / 760 = 489.474 HP




Nope. Your close....he's right on the money.
Power (kW) = Power (HP) x 0.7457

Power (HP) = Power (kW) x 1.341
