BMEP, Brake Mean Effective Pressure, is basically the cylinder pressure calculated by dividing the torque by the displacement of the engine. I haven't done the math, but I bet the engine in the twins is competitive with other gas engines when it comes to BMEP.

Also, power moves the car, so when you're only working with 2 litres, you put all of the torque on the top shelf to get big power out of it.
