According to Honda, it is indeed 124kw (166hp) what I find is curious is that the engine is 141hp but the "system" hp is 196hp, this shows how ingenious the system is by having two propulsion devices with completely different powerbands blended together.
I always wondered why they didn't do this from the start but assumed that it just never worked in the end for some reason.
