300kW underneath the front bonnet.​

How much is that in hp?

 

[karelpipa]

The number you look for is 1.34102 (or 1.34). Its good to know it. Just multiply kW by it.

...Just over 400. Not too shabby for a French repmobile, in other words. Too bad it's only a concept, though.

Decent power but I was expecting a lot more when Pescarolo is in the name.

...Remember, this was back in the early Noughties. Back then, the top-line Corvette had 400, BMW M5 had 400, so on and so forth. "400" was, and still is, a pretty good number.

I suppose 400 horsepower is still pretty good.

I hate Peugeot. Always have done. This however looks really cool... annoyingly. And 400bhp is a good amount, too!

I assume it's not front wheel drive like the normal 607 otherwise 400bhp would be rather too much.

Shame it's got an automatic gearbox.

It was front wheel drive. But its only a concept. I dont think it was meant to be in production.

FWD? Wow. Even if there are plenty of front drives these days pushing over 300 horsepower (Such as the Impala), 400 horsepower in a front drive sounds like too much. With that much power all wheel drive would be a good idea.
