Here’s a data point, based on what a friend of mine has done. He started with a 996 Turbo- IIRC 420 bhp as standard. He’s taken that to 1,100 bhp and it’s cost him £60,000. That’s starting with a 40k car that is fast in the first place. Starting with a lower horsepower number means (in general) a higher cost to get to bigger numbers, although the Audi boys using a £100 van bottom end probably helps them in this department.
