There's just no way the fattest car, with the least HP, would be fastest in accelerating from 100 to 200km/h.
Totally agree. But why assume the automaker went to all the trouble of setting up a special car for the test? Isn't the simpler bet that the magazine's dyno numbers and the magazine's conversion to from wheel HP to flywheel HP are just plain wrong?

That seems far more likely to me.
