Does anyone here know what the advertized or claimed horsepower and torque is for the Yager?

Are you sure you don't have the horsepower and torque figures reversed? Do you remember where you got those stats?

I asked the same question of a techie who seemed confident in what he was doing; he pushed the Yager spec through some formula and came up with 16HP (presumably rounded). Then again, I understand there are several different definitions of "horsepower".

There's brake horsepower and wheel horsepower, plus a lot of other standards used in measuring power.  HP has become a marketing hype in order to confuse consumers because this is one of the deciding factors of people in choosing what vehicle to buy...

Claimed HP is just that. It only lives in some ad writers brain stem. Dyno HP is the actual power available to provide forward movement.
BTW, has anyone converted the torque figure to LB-FT?
