STI: The latest US model of the STI has 305 bhp and 290 ft·lbf of torque (Horizontally Opposed 4-cylinder Single turbocharger, DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder.)
Those aren't engines that would be suitable in entry level luxury cars. They're impressive but designed more for high rpm horsepower and sacrifice lower rpm performance to get it.
