Yea, but is it ever going to get introduced to the U.S.?

Does anyone know what the horsepower and torque numbers are converted to something I can read? haha. Sounds good anyways, and an inline?

Torque is 347 lb-ft. Horsepower is somewhere around 200, I think. I don't know what PS means, but playing with the torque numbers I can estimate the horsepower is around 190-200.

PS
This unit (German: Pferdestärke = horse strength) is no longer a lawful unit, but is still commonly used in Europe, South America and Japan, especially by the automotive and motorcycle industry. It was adopted throughout continental Europe with designations equivalent to the English "horsepower", but mathematically different from the British unit. It is defined by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)[1] in Braunschweig as exactly:

1 PS = 75 kp·m/s = 0.73549875 kW = 0.9863201652997627 hp (SAE)
The PS was adopted by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) and then by the automotive industry throughout most of Europe, under varying names. In 1992, the PS was rendered obsolete by EEC directives, when it was replaced by the kilowatt as the official power measuring unit. It remained in use for commercial and advertising purposes, as customers were not familiar with the use of kilowatts for combustion engines.

That's more than I wanted to know....
