Corolla XRS $17k 1.8L was rated 164hp and 170hp but averagely dynoed at ~155whp. I guess that's 180hp assuming 15% drive-train loss.

That's nice but these engines wouldn't pass the modern emission tests.

An engine is not just the power/torque output.

The fact that they can make the engine more efficient and keep the same power output is the real achievement here.

But I guess people don't really give a shit about the technology and the advantages it brings. MOAR powahhh!!!!!
