That kind of power isn't uncommon in europe and in the u s of a, i'm not sure why it isn't used so much over here.... money perhaps?
Theres no replacement for displacement,lol. It is a 3000cc though so its not overly impressive considering theres old shonky yb's a little over 2000cc knocking out the same(if not more) power.
