French term or phrase: à 80 soupapes de 210 ch
Simply from a list of car features.

Could anyone help me with an English translation of this? I guess 'ch' refers to horsepower... I know that 'soupapes' are probably valves in this context... but how would this be best translated?

Any input would be most appreciated.

Explanation:
80 valve DOES seem rather a lot, could it be a typo for 8 (but that's not enough!) 4 valves per cylinder = 20 cylinders? Maybe more, the number seems to be going up and up all the time! 16-cylinder engine with 5 valves per cyl.?

Nice one Alex! Wow --- a W16, eh?! Double V-8... Some cool motor! And I\'d assumed it was for a TRUCK! Glad I don\'t have to pay the petrol bill, though!
