"The max. power output of the new 1.5-litre TwinPower Turbo will be 50kW/cylinder (500cc). This sums up to approx. 200 HP for the engine max. The 3-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine with the BMW i8 will produce slightly more power (231hp). As it is combined with an electric engine we will have extra boost at low end torque and therefore can use a slightly bigger turbo charger,” our source over at BMW said.
