So I’ve been wondering, how does a three cylinder Rotex ACE 1630 engine produce 325 HP when the four-cylinder 1.8L SVHO Yamaha engine only produces 250HP? The Yamaha has peak torque of 148 Lb-ft. I was hoping to find torque numbers the Rotex engine, but was not able to. It also seems that the Rotex engine is a bit more fuel efficient. Is the Rotex engine just better engineered than the Yamaha engine, or am I missing something?
