Yes, your units are confused a bit.. HP converts to kW.
Torque can be converted to Nm, which is the usual metric unit. 207 lb-ft converts to 280.692 Nm.
See this for a nice conversion table.

Kilowatts (kw) translates into horsepower, and every kilowatt is about 1.36 horsepower (so multiply the kw figure by 1.36 to get the hp)
Newton-meters (nm) are the standard measure of torque, and the each nm equals roughly .74 lb-ft. Neither of these numbers are scientific, but they will get you in the area.

(See above)
The 2.3 manual has the correct figure; M-B 2002 sales literature, etc was unduly pessimistic.

I find it amusing that something as simple as a fixed conversion, agreed upon by scientific authorities around the world, can spark a debate like this. 
Perhaps we should rename it to the 'MBDebateWorld Forums'
