Road vs. crank...
Crank (SAE net) is what is quoted.
Road is what is actually delivered (to the road or dyno) after drivetrain losses (extra friction, etc.).

That 250 HP is at the crankshaft. Deduct all losses in tranny, diff, etc. to get road HP.

for audi quattro cars, assume 15% loss from crank to wheels.
