manufactureers cater to what the market wants, I get that, but 375 seems like an awfully small number from a twin turbo V6 when we've had 100hp/l NA engines for decades.
but hey, if they can produce them for cheap and sell at a large margin then thats good business practice. you have to wonder what consumers actually expect and wether this is influenced by the corporations that sell to them.
Near zero lag, huge area under the curve in torque, highly efficient when you're not wailing on it, the list goes on...
