Below is the power graph from the last time we ran it up on our 4 wheel drive rolling road.
With today’s BHP bench mark now being set at the 500-600 BHP this cars 324.8hp might seem a little low! However with a relatively small investment in the way of a set of higher flow fuel injectors, a bigger more up to date turbo, front mount inter-cooler and a ECU remap a much higher figure could be easily achieved smashing it's already blistering sub 4 seconds 0-60 time.
