Reading the latest issue of Motor Trend - they write about Bugatti's Veyron (hell, I don't even know how to pronounce it much less will ever see one)...1001 horsepower ultra-exotic.
It has a HP guage. SO here is my question, how does a guage like this work? I thought HP could only be measured using an external (calibrated) load applied to the engine (AKA dynomometer) as a function of rpm corrected for temp, humidity, etc...
So explain how this is probably working?
Or is it just a gimmick...a guage pre-programmed to read "HP" based on gear and rpms...so that they can put "1001" on it somewhere?
I guess for $1.25 mil - it better be the real deal.
