20 years doesn't mean 20 years to develop a more powerful engine, there's more to it than that. Any manufacturer, even Daihatsu could put a 220kw N/A 2 litre engine in the thing if they really wanted to, but it means more money on production costs and less fuel efficiency. But try passing in the RB20DET under today's emission standards and you would be laughed at!

And for that matter, 20 years prior to the R32 GTS-T was the TA22 GT which weighed in at around 900kg and made 93kw from a 1.6 litre N/A engine...

I think you'll find this car to be positioned with similar performance to other sports cars within similar price ranges. They may also be making space for more powerful versions of the engine down the track, giving marketing something to keep pushing the product.

I know an rb20 would pass emissions the s15 in 1999 didn't even pass American emission standards hense why they never got it

I just expect a 'sports' car to have a little more power

really just depends on the price if the ft86 is around $30k for the na model as people have been quoting then, it will be decent but if it's closer to $60k, I don't see why you wouldnt just spring for a 370z or skyline v series

im a limo driver tomorrow daytime for stakes day or whatever it is.. gonna be cruising around in a 300c lol.
