You are right, this car is rated at 180 horsepower and 193 lb/ft of torque, as it says in the listing above. A great combination for driving comfort and cruising. See the article "Overlooked Treasures" by Richard Simonds in the STAR, November 11, 2019. He praises these "unsung modernist sedans" combining "the aestehtic magic of Paul Bracq with advanced engineering and robust build quality."August 11th, 2025 at 2:26pm ESTBEPLA (1) 0This is a fuel-injected car - So it should be listed at the factory rating of 180hp. & 193 lb/ft torque A carbuerated engine of this timeframe would be 157hp & 181lb/ft torque.
