Like I have said before, a next gen could have the same power and displacement, and I would be fine with that. If they put in stronger rods, larger bearings, engine support/girdle, fixed cornering oil/fuel starvation and gave us a stronger transmission, and if the chassis was stiffer and the rear seats were dropped in favor of a better 50/50 distribution then I would be good. I would buy that car 100%. I can tune more power. I just don’t want a 350hp/250tq ceiling before the motor needs to be built or transmission swap needs to happen.
For homologation purposes certain items will need to match the rally car therefore I presume chassis stiffness, certain engine parts and other bits and pieces will tolerate tweaking.. I can see 300bhp could be attainable and that would be more than enough for a little pocket rocket..
