HC motor producing 42 PS at 10,750 rpm and 29.6 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm at the crank. A 10 percent increase in these figures means the motor now produces close to 46 PS of power and 32.5 Nm of peak torque. However, these are just estimates as Race Concepts has only revealed the power figures at the wheel.
