Engines. 300hp out of 2L is impressive. It scales even better. V8’s can put out insane numbers.

For real, internal combustion engines are made way better than they used to be. Both in terms of reliability and power output.

You can get a small, ICE only (non-hybrid) car that gets 40+ MPG. You can buy a new car with a warranty that makes over 800 horsepower.

The IC engine is at its peak. Electric is the future, but the current crop of ICE are incredible machines.

Not to mention the reliability is better now. Basic maintenance will get you over 100k easy with no major concerns

No one is driving those past 100k miles with 10k maintenance intervals though.

The ICE is "only" outputting ~380hp, the rest is from the electric boost.
