I wonder if the manufacturers aren't trying to keep as much of a low profile as they can with their conservative HP ratings? American muscle cars of the 60s were very underrated HP wise to avoid political reaction and more stringent regulation. I'm not familiar with EU auto regulations, but are there taxes imposed on the higher HP cars?
