Other manufacturers have underrated power output, it's nothing new.

Not all evidence. Top speed in European car is very close to the old one which suggests that catalog power is not underrated. They didn't have any reason to underrate top speed in Germany and no reason to limit it electronically for stability reasons. If you don't want to listen me, then listen Tcoat.
