Info from Autocar mag 13th december 95, eight page article on XP1LM.

I shall check later for the road car spec.

That's a HUGE difference!

As you can read in the article below, the '95 GTR's were restricted by 39,4mm and the '96 GTR's by 35,6


The different horsepower figures are a result of different measuring standards:

In the UK a F1 roadcar has 627 bhp - in Germany the same car has "just" 601 hp.

btw: The roadcar has an idling speed of less than 1000 rpm, reaches his max. power at 7400 and has a max. rpm of 7500 while the LM spec. engine has an idling speed of approx. 1500 rpm, reaches his max. power at 7800 and has a max. rpm of 8500.
