With current progress in power levels on cars for example the MK1 GTi had 110bhp and weighed 800kgs the MK4 weighed 1200kgs and had 150bhp by MK5 we see power figures approaching 170 bhp. Then they bring out the more poweful v5 engine and also do clever things with twin charging!
It is now fairly common to see cars on the road with between 200 and 300 bhp.
As engines progress do you think we are likely to see continual power hikes! What do you think the upper limit will be?
As most cars are FWD I think they are going to be limited to around 250bhp, to get more we would need to see a move to RWD and I can't see this happening thanks to fuel economy concerns!
