You gotta remember that modern engines have vastly superior breathing than our old motors do. The more air you can get into, and out of a motor, the more power it will make. The new abath fiat 500 makes 160 with a turbo 1400. (remember, thats a production car, and not too highly strung) that wouldn't be too difficult to acheive with a modern cylinder head design.


Renault were even doing this power with 1400 turbo Pushrod engine in the early 1980s. "the standard Renault R5 Turbo has a front-mounted engine, the 5 Turbo featured a mid-mounted 1397 cc Cléon turbocharged engine placed behind the driver in mid-body in a modified Renault 5 chassis. In standard form, the engine developed 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp)."

These engines even had the same bore and stroke as an A14.
