Just googled this to cross reference some BHP and PS values. Am I stupid or does it give you the wrong answer? The text says 1.0 PS = 0.986 BHP, but if you type in say 100 BHP it converts this to 99 PS rather than 101 PS. I would have thought that such an august organisation as Which would have got this right.

Yep, looks wrong to me.

My RX8 was 231 PS, which equated to around 228 bhp IIRC. As far as I know PS is always greater than bhp.
