Per !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that I found via !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , it makes 350 PS. That should be around 345 HP (it's supposed to make !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! 320 HP), but the U.S. measure could be different (i.e. like how the USDM Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 makes 691 HP). Update: Patrick says that Ford made a mistake, so NVM.

Since PS is metric HP, the aventador makes 700 PS, which translates to 691 HP. I'd say 345 HP sounds about right.

Just FYI, Ford's walked back from this one. They say that page is a mistake and they're holding at 320 PS (315 HP) for now. I was gonna do a story on it and that's what they told me.

So people saying it was 315 turns out to be untrue? This is the first serious performance bump in this class of vehicle in a while. Glad to see that it's finally happening. What this means for people doing remaps: i'm rubbing my hands greedily at the thought of the easy power potential of a car that makes this stock with just a remap.

It seems to have been a mistake on Ford's part, per Patrick's reply.
