I think it might surprise everyone. I would even say an internal target of 310hp is very likely.
I know you can't read into things, but it is really interesting for them to state that the B38 is good for 185hp to 200hp per litre, and then follow on to say 1.5L gives 310hp. 200 x 1.5 is 300hp and not 310hp. German engineers being precise usually would not state something like this unless they are already working towards a target.
Interestingly, if the car is 1400kg (a saving of 100kg), it will give a power to weight ratio of 220hp/tonne, very similar to the current 1M.
I am not saying we are going to have a M spec 3 cylinder turbo, but I am saying that 310hp is the target HP.
Imagine a tri-scroll turbo, with a E-turbo setup. It would be something very special.
