As the website says, the astina has 93kw. Is this at the flywheel or wheels? Thanks in advance.

Id say in the 60s, its normally 20-25% lower at the wheels. But the age of the car will make it lower again

rule of thumb is around 80% of Flywheel power, but remember, this is not accurate ;)

93kw at the flywheel = around 74.5kw at the wheels

didn't someone pull 68kw on a dyno in the past year in a BA? had only cat back exhaust. so would support dan's figures.
