Except the Porsche engine is not that exotic. Their run of the mill base Cayman engine is probably capable of 300hp uncorked. The standard 3.8 hits 115hp/L with the X51 package, and it's the exact same engine with a bigger bore more or less.
The GT3 engine is based on the same engine with a few upgrades.
The Porsche engines are nothing special btw, steel rods and valves, single direct injector (we got 2 in our cars) and dual lift profile cams (which Honda has standard). The K24 earth dreams is just as good on the spec sheet, it is just economy focused.
