This is a standardized formula to account for atmospheric conditions.
The original prototypes they were working with probably had at least 416 hp, and maybe even 430 which would have been adequate for the weight. By the time they realized they were going to have to tune down the engine to comply with regulations, it may have been too late to change the contract order for the gear sets for the trans and diff in order to compensate. If they even considered that to begin with. When Gavan said the Emira was an Evora dialed up to an 11, he was probably referring to the development cars he and his team were working with at the time, which I have no doubt had more power than what they had to settle for on the final production car.
Just leave it outside over night in a metropolitan area. Someone will delete it for you. Free of charge!
Summit Point?I don't understand much about engines, so I may be way off here.
One of the cars that I really enjoyed was my 997.2 GT3. A perfect mixture of analog inputs with just enough electronic assistance. Its gearing was pretty crazy, in second gear I would hit 78-79 mph, and 106-107 mph in 3rd gear. This gearing was balanced with a lightweight flywheel, relative to most street cars, so the engine would rev up quite rapidly and gave the sensation of pretty decent accel Gs. The engine was only rated only 435 hp and 317 ft-lb torque. That car felt really fast to me at the time.

The Emira is not that far off in terms of power figures with almost identical weight to that GT3. So, I am expecting the 'feel' of it to be comparable, just a tad off probably. But since Emira's gearing is much shorter, I think it will 'feel' pretty rapid and hold its own at the track.
I guess, we'll see
Those aren't Japanese plates, and the screenshot looks very Chinese. Numbers look OK and nice linear line.
My bad haha maybe @TomE or someone else can move it to a relevant thread, thanks
This video probably originates from China, or at least not from Japan. Am I wrong?
Yeah it’s from China, it’s Chinese license plate
Moved from Japan shipping and delivery thread to this thread on V6 dyno results.
I believe this 387 hp is hose power.
What???
Yeah i was surprised too by reading that comment. I wonder where that theory originated form?I've missed you and your speculations, Eagle!!
You're not picking up 7hp by changing gear oils, sorry bud
Great car.I don't understand much about engines, so I may be way off here.

I think you guys mis-understood what I was saying. It doesn't add 7 hp to the engine, it frees up hp that's currently being absorbed from the drivetrain. The engine is still putting out whatever power it is from the factory. By improving the efficiency of the drivetrain (reducing the resistance) that allows some of the power that was being absorbed to now make it to the rear wheels.
I guess its logical, as it aligns with the analogous idea of employing lightweight wheels and rotors, such as those made of carbon ceramic, to reduce drive train loss.
