Yes, but that's boosted, Feico.  I was talking normally aspirated.  The
normally aspirated V-6 in the Audis just caught up to 220 HP with the 2002
model year.

    Ever driven a Yamaha Taurus SHO 3.0 liter engine?  It's kind of funny
that
    here we are 13 years later and Audi FINALLY caught up to the 220 HP of
    normally aspirated power this thing put out, and it's redline was 7k.
All
    that in 1989.  Kind of like the "new" seat warmers that the GM SUVs have
in
    them :)

  The UrS4 puts out a lot more than 227 HP stock. Unless the drive
efficiency is about 5%. I would estimate it to be about 245 - 250 (15%
drivetrain efficiency). It is clear that the Germans tend to underrate the
Horsepower ... the Japanese (except cars like the Skyline etc.) and the US
tend to give you exaggerated HP figures (at least compared to the German
models).

  Best regards,
