I don't understand why Mazda are equipping their halo sports car with such limp engines.

The 86 has 147kw and can actually get out of its own way, I can only imagine how weak 96kw and 150nm will feel on a hot day in traffic.

Surely it can't be such a hard task to gain 140 kw out of a state of the art high compression 2 litre?
Honda was doing 177KW back in 1999 out of 2L with the S2000.
