Behold, the Blade Master G:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

1480kg, 276bhp, 6AT (no manual option sadly), FWD (unfortunately), 3.5l v6...

This seems like it should be a fun car.

276b hp

I can’t believe they’re still doing that.

Doing what? the literature link for the car lists it as 280 ps/206 kW . The only converter I could find to make sense of it in hp was British which lists it in bhp. Since I don’t know if the listing actually means off the crank or not I decided to er on the side of what the converter said.

For a long, long time the Japanese car companies had a “gentlemen’s agreement” between them  to not produce a car with more than 276 advertised horsepower (280 PS.) which led to absurdity like the Toyota Century having a 5.0 liter V12 with “276 hp.”

Just amuses me that there are still examples of that.
