Jaguar F type v6 340 hp Spec sheet question about engine designation
Hello Guys, recently I was reading spec sheet and on the configuration list was written : « ENGINE POWER SOURCE - 340/450 »
What does 340/450 mean? I was thinking maybe it suppose to say that the v6 3.0L engine can handle 340hp to 450hp and is the same for the 380hp model?

PS is a little more than traditional (American) horsepower, 1 PS = .98 HP so 340 PS = 333 HP.
450 is the maximum torque in Newton metres (Nm) and 1 Nm = .738 ft/lb ("foot pounds" again the old-fashioned American term) so 450 Nm = 332 ft/lb.
The mechanicals of both engines are identical the difference is entirely in the tune so both can handle the exact same amounts of power and torque.
