It allows them to have a deceptive over achiever. It allows fan boys to say that their magic 50-50 weight balance and UFO like chassis allows it to beat down competitors with a better power to weight ratio.
The new car WILL make more power than the existing car. It is just a question of how much more and likely under rating.
