You need to remove the "B" from your statement there. 355BHP does not equate to 264kw at the wheels. 355HP however, does.

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump, muffled exhaust system, etc.
