  • Does nobody understand the difference between flywheel and wheel horse power? If these A6's are rated at 230hp(flywheel), 191 would be very good actually. Most AWD's have a parasitic loss of 25% or more.

  • you dumbasses.... its 191 at the wheels for him, but 250 at the crank..........

  • yea this model has only 230hp because mine is an 2001 an it comes 240 jus ten more hp but i modded mine wit an upgrade turbo an headers so those 240 jus got moved up to 320 hp an still trying to fix it jus need some money lol

  • thats pathetic, the skyline gtr with a 100cc smaller engine has 320bhp stock, and easily tuned to 400 with not much mods, so why is the power so low? i was shocked, i thought it would be somewhere up to 300 at least.

  • Year 2000 Audi 2.7 Bi-Turbo has 250 BHP and 350 NM of torque stock. A stage 1 remapping increases the figures to around 280 BHP and 440 NM. Obviously it's the torque that makes the real difference.

  • I think it's the power on the wheels. Not the engine output itself. You lose a power at your gearbox and at several consumers as ac-compressor and lighting dynamo. Of course there is a little difference between the data of the producer and the real power but usually it's around +- 11HP. 60HP would be a lot, don't you think?

  • best rule is with AWD take stock hp (250) divided by 1.28 which brings about 195WHP. since there is 27-28% loss in hp from fly to wheels. like 265bhp=207whp

  • its about right, since you loose about 10-15% hp after the tranny. plus its awd so yeah i wonder what my n/a v6 quattro would do. kinda scared.

  • Homie if your only doing 190 and pushing around 200HP, it's because you have a regular A6.

    Not the 4.2 or the 2.7T, I have THE REAL 2.7T I swapped for magna flow and I'm pushing 265hp.

    Here are the specs:

    The first is the A6 2.7T with a 250-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 engine. The second is the A6 4.2 with a 300-horsepower V8.

  • maby its 2.8 ???

  • I got a 2,7T Quattro 2001 with BSR Chip and i got 280 on the wheels

  • The stock 250hp advertised is the Crank HP. A dyno will measure Wheel HP. Your car is losing about 23.6% of it's power through to the wheels which is about average. A good rule of thumb is that AWD cars lose about 25% give or take, so you're good. Now add a GIAC chip and yer good for 310 crank hp, or ~237 wheel hp. :)

  • wow, i'm surprised how much is lost throughout the drive train to the wheels. it's still one of the best engines to come out of germany!

  • 2000 models = 230 HP as others have said

    2001-2003 models = 250 HP

    2004 models = 265 HP

  • 191 is a bit low, i'm looking to buy a 2004 06' 2.7t for my first car; i cant wait!

  • shouldn't it be 250ish??

  • yea at the crank

  • 250HP at the Engine, Dyno rungs give the power that is making it to the wheels, after the engine power (250hp) is lost thro the drive train...around 25%-40% usually lost on an Automatic All Wheel drive.

  • no...its 250 at the crank, 190 at the wheels.

  • Dude, 191 at the wheels...WHEELS...not crank. You lose about 25% with awd and automatic transmission. So 191 at the wheels is actually 256hp, or so at the crank.

  • yea but its 190+ at wheels...

  • 191 at the wheels thats more at the engine

  • It is 250 its just whp

  • ? what was the numbers it made, wheel hp and crank?

  • what??? My friends Audi a6 2.7 biturbo have 250 hp and it's stock ( It is also from 2000)

  • 250hp at the crank

    190whp is really good being as old as it it and as menny miles as it has

    you are just a fucking retard

  • 250 at the crank, 190 at the wheels.

  • it makes 250 at the crank not wheels

  • motor is rated at 250 hp.. not all the power gets to the wheels.. my gf has the same car and its pretty quick

  • 250 hp from the motor, gets lots in all the mechanics, to 190ish at the wheels, also less hp over time.

  • You Can't see what it says. What were the numbers?

  • hmmm, model 2000 have 230 HP not 250 i think. But its quattro and the power of 191 HP is on wheels. is manual or automatic ?

  • wrong. 250.

  • This model 2000, 2.7T has got 230HP i think

  • how much horsepower on this bad boy ? I could not see anything on the video

  • that 191 is called WHP (wheel horse power) and yes 250 is a crank horse power..

  • looks about right, now chip it w/ dp's and exhaust!

  • .....

  • oh you should of said that this is 191WHP, yeah i guess so, but it has 250hp crank, so yeah,....

  • What milages does that have?

  • 66,000 miles.

  • 191 hp ? that's bad for a 2.7T

  • The twin turbo V6 is rated at 250hp to the crank. When you have an automatic and 4 wheel drive you loose 20% power. So it's actually very close to what it should be :)
