They should've called it the "Sport 158" instead of 160.
By that logic then all cars with a power figure in their name should always say their exact power figure:
Lamborghini Aventador LP690-4
Lamborghini Huracan LP602-4
McLaren 562S
McLaren 641S
McLaren 666LT

The point is, manufactures like to round the power numbers, I believe, to make the cars potentially seem more attractive or, in some cases, the manufacturers just use PS instead of HP as it makes it look slightly more powerful.
