Do these jounalists have the wrong numbers? or are we in for a surprise?
I think that the jounalists are wrong. Wishful thinking tho 
Also, I haven't heard from the Toronto Star journalist yet, but I will say that he's been in the car business for over 20 years and is a respected automobile journalist. |
These are the figures as quoted in the UK ITERIM BROCHURE I HAVE:
C230 (2.5) RATED TORQUE - 245Nm @ 2900 - 5500 RPM
C280 (3.0) --DO-- 300Nm @ 2500 - 5000 RPM
C350 (3.5) --DO-- 350Nm @ 2400 - 5000 RPM
