No doubt there are discrepancies, but the 130 hp engine in the Fabia gave 101% of the rated power at the drive shafts: Powertrain Performance Graph for Skoda Fabia RS -05 (96 kW) If this figure is "corrected" by adding 15% for transmission losses, then you get an estimate of flywheel hp in line with your figures. Which is not the same as saying the vehicle has 149hp to play with at the wheels.
