V6 CDTi - How much power?

**Craig Rogers** · 11th February 2008, 15:35

Right, I've read so many conflicting articles about this.

I have an 06 (facelift) Signum with the V6 CDTi. I know it has 400Nm, but what is the bhp?

I thought it was 184bhp, but I've read various stories. The handbook says it's 138bhp, which is obviously a mis-print.

Original one was in the 170's I think, current version is the 184 mate...

So is a 2006 a current version?

Thanks

06 facelift will be 184ps.

The 138 in the handbook, check that isn't the KW rating!

Ah yeah, good point. I think it was 136, which is about 182bhp, which is about 184ps!

Strictly speaking its 184PS which is around 182bhp

.
Also the torque is 295 lbft.

Having said that, when I had my facelift rolling roaded at Red Dot in October my figures came out at a disappointing:
175bhp and 236lb/ft

.
Other standard cars were making stock figures on the day so I dont think there was nothing wrong with the RR. Also Nutron made 220bhp (so RR wasnt reading low

).

But my car feels reasonably quick to me (better with V-Power

) and the cars I can keep up with, its not a disappointing drive. Was suprised at the figures though.
