New SAE Horsepower Rule Hurts Japanese, Euros
Changes in the way horsepower is rated by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) are benefiting the Big Three and dropping the quoted horsepower on several Japanese and European vehicles. The SAE recently adjusted the way in which horsepower is rated, and American companies found that many vehicles new for 2006 or brought to market with updated powertrains are seeing power increases. The Cadillac STS-v, for example, had been rated before its launch at 440 hp, but under the new tests it will be rated at 469 hp. Toyota and Honda, the Detroit News reports, are testing all the vehicles they sell and are downrating some powertrains like the 3.0-liter V-6 found in the Camry, which drops from 210 hp to 190 hp under the new system. The Acura RL falls from 300 hp to 290 hp.
