I can almost assure you that 420 is at the crank. No car company quotes horsepower at the wheels these days....whether its a production or concept car. Why? Because advertising crank HP sounds so much better. Many people out there simply don't understand the difference between a vehicle's advertised HP and HP at the rear wheels.

Example....which sounds better: "The new 426 HP Camaro SS!" or "The new 360 HP Camaro SS!".

If this TT had nearly 500 HP...they would be touting it big time.
