F430 dyno video, weird results?
353 rwhp sounds really low for a car rated at what, 480 hp at the crank? It does sound really good though.

Re: F430 dyno video, weird results?
ahh... Ferrari "marketing". I've seen dynos in the 400RWHP though which is more in line with 480 to the crank.

Re: F430 dyno video, weird results?
Ferrari marketing is certainly well know for the 355, but if you look at the 1/4 MPH for the 430, it has a LOT of power.

Re: F430 dyno video, weird results?
A F355 dynoed with our local NSXers a few years back and it put down 275 rwhp. My '91 did 271 rwhp. The F355s were rated at 400 crank hp as I recall. It would seem to me that the F-car layout lends itself to a lot of drivetrain loss.

Re: F430 dyno video, weird results?
i was looking into this some a little while ago and came across the common drivetrain loss percentage in the ferrari 360 of close to 25%, which is insane...
ferrari 360 rated at 400hp+ dynoing at around 300whp... very suprising. |
