It depends greatly on what dyno you measure the car, so if I tell you 400 BHP but don't specify on what dyno, it'll be no use.

330 to 340WHP converts to approx 330KW at the engine, which is the standard spec

I have had 3 dynos in the last 3 weeks, (different dyno dynamic machines) and each one hashad a drive train loss of approx 100hp. +- 5hp
It's all Bollox.

Ok so assuming the RS6 will make the quoted 450ish hp it should make around 330 - 340 hp @ wheels

100hp transmission loss is alot thinking about it - thats a lot of heat...

Doesn't sound like a lot, would this be about the same as an E39 m5? Guess its all relative...

You need to remember that the car is Automatic and also 4WD and will cause a great loss that a 4WD Manual car.

Mine was dynoed at ~350whp on a DD in Shoot Out Mode when standard
