Title: 192 and 231ps?
Post by: B.Martin on March 21, 2011, 10:05:30 AM
What are the differences between the 2? Obviously the power, but anything else? And what is it that makes the difference in the power any ideas? Inlet or something simple like that or is it a lot more complicated?

Apologies, I\'m on the iPhone and this should have been posted in the rx8 part.

I think one maye be a 4 port and the other a 6 port (intake). I\'ll need to check up on this.

Additionally the 231 has a 6 speed

Oh great, that definate on the 6 speed part? That makes looking at them easier as most people in Cyprus don\'t know what BHP model they own!

also in your instrument cluster the tachometer runs to 10k on the 231 and 9k on the 192

yes, an extra gear, 6th, 10000 rpm, xeon headlamps, head light washers (very annoying in winter due to sticking when you hit the windscreen washers to clear the winter road grime off your windscreen), leather seats (option with sat nav, but 231ps seem to have them by default), dsc traction control stuff you can switch on and off with a button to name but a few.

engine has 6 ports instead of 4, but the 192ps model has more torque starting off.

Leather seats are an option on both models.  DSC is standard on all models.

The 231 ps model also has alloy pedals.
