On the other hand, it could be a "toe in the water" to test a new power unit for the next Roadster.........?
I hope not! (unless they bolt a compressor or two turbo's on it to boost the low and midrange). For me the two cars represent totally different driving styles. The 2L needs to be wound up to release the ponies. I dont think a 200+bhp VVT version will be much different in that respect. (which engine is that btw?) For the Roadster imho the goal should be effortless acceleration and wheel spinning torque at low revs, like the car it replaced. Smaller (&cleaner) is the trend(1.6L 4cil in F1 next), but for NA engines, "you cant beat the cubes".
