Should car makers be obliged to ensure that all of their cars meet the HP figures they quote.
I note that some companies like Porsche and the Nissan GTR tend to exceed the quoted figures but many mainstream models are typically 10bhp down.
I take the focus as a case in point, the HP tends to be 10 down but the torque figure is generally higher than quoted.
Does this matter? Is it a sign of poor quality control?
