Bullshit! Driving was possible with a lot less than even 200 HP. In the 60ies fast sportscars produced 85 HP (for example the MG A or the Triumph TR3) and even in the 70ies few cars had more than 150 HP. And it was more than enough. Let's take the pictured TVR 3000 S. With less than 140 HP, but a healthy growl, it make the car feel quick and still "torquey". For today's authorized speed limits the car is more than fast enough and thanks to its truly open nature it's lots of fun.

So, dear engineers from Audi, BMW or Porsche, take your heritage for a ride and think again before you are adding the next 100 HP to your premium sportscars.
