Are the FQ models in the UK (FQ320, FQ340 FQ400)power rated to the wheels or the crank?

 

Those are the crank horsepower ratings.

 

yep, definitely at the crank.

 

Yup, yup, the FQ-400 has 400bhp and you know the rest.........lol

 

what does the FQ stand for?

 

I was waiting for someone to ask that

Fu*kin Quick jk

 

Who sells there cars from the factory stating HP/TQ to the wheels? .............NO ONE!!

 

If the 400 HP is at the crank, that must translate into, oh, about 350 HP at the wheels? That's not that spectacular. People seem to be getting that with a modest investment here in the States. So why pay a gajillion dollars for an FQ400 (if it were available)?

 

for the sweet FQ400 badge

 

and dope rims

DUH

(sarcasm)

 

and to say your car ripped up a lamborghini on "top gear"

 

Don't forget they get a warranty (50K miles ?) for that price . . . a very VERY expensive warranty.


(I think that the WHP usually suffers closer to about a 30-35 HP loss from crank from what I've seen previously, but the point made above about 350HP is well taken)

 

I would guess a much greater loss than that from 400 crank HP. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20% with AWD cars.

 

Either way FQ400 decals off of ebay are much cheaper!

 

the FQ-400 also has a bunch of aero upgrades, different (and expensive!) wheels and, i think, additional chassis bracing.

p.s. "f*cking quick" is correct
