In fact, at present, the benchmark of peers (not strengthening the engine, not strengthening the gearbox, not strengthening the crankshaft and connecting rod piston) is basically about 400 horsepower on the wheel. Considering the high efficiency of the transmission system, the horsepower output of the nose is about 450 horsepower. I hardly knocked. Several high-priced answers always take Honda F 1 engine as an example, which is a bit helpless. . .
There are 400 horses in this round. You can see and touch them. dynojet can measure them. Instead of being out of reach like F 1 racing car. Close to you. In other words, if you buy an A45 and give me 20,000-30,000 yuan, you can turn it into a 450-horsepower AMG 2.0T without changing the turbine, strengthening the engine and moving the gearbox. You can drive it to the kindergarten to pick up the children! .
As for why it looks so high, after all, 400 horsepower is basically the strength of 5L V8 engine, because this 2.0T engine was designed with AMG's high output setting in mind, and its interior was strengthened (the piston connecting rod was strengthened), and the turbine was specially designed, which was not the big and stupid turbine in Japan in the 1990s.
As for the comparison with S3, I don't want to comment too much, because as you can see, this is AMG. Have you seen the comparison between C63 and S5? Audi put it on AMG's face.
As for 100 km PK, it was just a joke. S3 is definitely not slow, but let's compete with 100-200! Let's go EA888 gen3 is still full of advantages in front of other engines. In the face of AMG, we can only invite the LOBA Turbine out, and it is not enough for S3 to bring its own IS38.
