Why does the 147GTA only have 185hp?

["Mark Battley" <m.battley@domain.elided>]

>I was on the alfa web site and the 147GTA with a 3.2 V6 24V is listed as 185hp
>(250kW). If a Q engine can put out 230 or 235 (Q4) with a 3.0, then the 3.2
>should put out at LEAST 250hp. Even the 3.0 12V in 1987 had 192!
>Why did they intentionally not take advantage of this engine's potential?

Must be a typo (they reversed the units), 185kW is about 250hp.
