There is NO WAY an Atkinson-cycle engine, of exactly the same dimensions, will produce the SAME horsepower...when TORQUE is "shifted" toward lower RPMS, Horsepower falls-off drastically, since HP is a direct function of RPM. Yes, the higher CR helps, but at what cost to FUEL "knock" sensitivities?

Toyota marketing has been listening to Detroit Marketing too much!
