What is this, I don't even...
1) it's different
2) passive-cooling is inadequate with the Carrera. It requires 'supercharging', if you will, in order not to 'Chernobyl' the engine.
3) the Carrera is not tested on a chassis dynamometer, within the wind tunnel, under acceleration g-forces, deceleration g-forces, lateral acceleration g-forces, aerodynamic forces, and rolling -resistance, with the engine running, in gear, as would be encountered on a pavement race track.
4) the artificial ' blower-assist' energy is not accounted for. Although the universe experiences the loss.
So we're looking at a book-keeping issue.
