I doubt many cars do.
The Veyron is supposed to have 1001 bhp I think, but has been found to really have around 960 I believe.
Golf GTD Mk7
I've seen vag and hondas make stock. Too many factors really. Remember that the French do class it as 182/197/200 bhp, it's kW, but they don't even tend to reach that either
On a rolling road which doesn't make proper results! Try a proper dyno! T-REV!!!Mine made 183.6 on it's first rolling road - standard lol
For the people saying their car made book power, how do you know it was any more or less accurate than someone who's car made less? They're just a complete lottery of egos, opinions, and expectations. Also the results always mean different things from different perspectives, as some of the posts here perfectly illustrate. Just be happy with your car, or buy another one if it's too slow. Fin.
Well said fella.
R34 GT-R & 172 Cup
Actually it should be 169.6bhp
Close enough lol

At sea level.
You missed the 0.4 hp btw. Every little helps.I gave you that.
The thread isen't about rolling roads:S its about why a lot of Renaults dont make their claimed power, which i think is a pretty good question tbh
LOL.
Like some have said. It all depends on what rolling road you take it to. Like annoying they are all different and the operator might do something differently etc. The best thing to do is get a rolling road dyne run done. Do the mods you want and then get it redone at the same place, preferably by the same guy. If you get an increase then excellent. If you don't then you wasted your money a bit :rasp:
Either way. You could spend your life chasing figures but it's what the car is like to drive that Is important!

V6 255
Not that I know about, or care about rolling roads and figures blah blah blah, but EVO's 200 made 205, so you're right they don't make book figures
As already stated, if it feels underpowered/slow, get a different one, or a different car if 'book figures' are your thing. There's so much more to a RS clio

My standard 182 made 176bhp on live rollers.
Keep in mind.... >
Some car manufacturers still quote a power output rating called PS, which stands for Pferdestärke (literally, 'horse strength'). It's alternatively known as DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung ) hp as opposed to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) bhp.

this is what i thinking? with the clios, is it just a case of badly casted inlets which decide whether its "feels" fast/slowish?
flywheel power is just pub talk, there is so many variables that its not even worth wasting breath on tbh but if you want to w@nk over figures then its atw power that counts in the real world...
i use rolling roads to see if my car is running smoothly/correctly, who gives a monkeys if its 8bhp more than joe blogs 1*2, a good tuner will be able to tell you where improvments can be made then take it back to the same rr in the same weather with the samer tuner and you will keep the variables to a minimum, you should also run in 4th as it gives the most accurate readings due to the gear box ratio!!
