The Bulliitt version is 480hp, so likely just a couple years and the GT will have that standard.
The 2.7 turbo from the Silverado is intended/designed solely for truck duty, it would be terrible in this car. Even the normal turbo 4 is only 275 hp, way behind everyone else. New Mustang 4cyl is 330hp, Ford Focus RS 350hp, even the new Ranger is 270hp. Mercedes CLA45/GLA45 AMG turbo 4's are currently 375 hp and the new 2020's will be 420hp. VW is speculated to have a 300+ Golf R soon (a 400hp "concept" car was shown just a couple years ago). Volvo S60 Polestar is 360hp. Honda Civic Type R is 306hp. I think there is a lot of powertrain competition between a T4 and V6. I don't believe the next Gen will still have both.
