Euro 6 and Euro 5 Emissions

[AliG123]

I noticed that the new Ford Ranger Raptor has different stated BHP depending on the country you buy it in. In Australia its over 100BHP more than the UK. I have reason to believe its because they are still on Euro 5 emissions standards whereas we are Euro 6. Does anyone know the legality of changing a new car from Euro 6 to Euro 5 and if it can even be done?

It would be illegal.

Also a stupid idea

I thought your numbers sounded off, but I looked it up, and wow, you're right - 284bhp vs 391bhp.

That's ridiculous.

I mean it may not be the best idea but a 100BHP loss just from this is a bit crazy

Yeah! There isn't too much out about the vehicle but from what I can find this would be the only reason. Hopefully soon we could get some clarity about this.

Is it as simple as a remap and a more free flowing exhaust?
It wont pass the MOT emmissions if you dovit though.
Cant be surely for that power upgrade.
How many more torques do the Aussies get?

It’s more about CO2 than Euro standards in the U.K. regardless it will definitely invalidate the warranty and it’s not good for local air quality

Yeah it just seems like £55k for a pickup is a lot and the 288 to 390 bhp is such a significant loss. It makes it seem not really worth it.
