That calculates to 268HP at the crank based on the published 215 HP.

I have seen the Base HP at the crank published at 219 HP
If you use the Mercedes SLK base HP of 229 it gets better. We can likely asume they down graded the Crossfire published output for marketing. We can assume these numbers would further amplify the calculated Crank HP.

So I suspect my calculations are conservative. But not perfect.
