The 420 hp figure is crank horsepower, you will dyno less to your wheels as a result of drivetrain loss. Most car manufacturers measure horsepower at the motor unless otherwise stated.

Guys, its actually around 245kw atw, at least australian models. or 331 bhp whichever you prefer. Awesome for a quattro drivetrain, 20-30% loss of power.
Amazing congrats to the boys at Ingolstadt.
