I was just about to say this. The tuning potential of modern turbo engines is ridiculous. A $500 canned tune on an S3 or 235i for instance gets you like 60whp. No joke. I'd imagine similar options will be available for the 718. Engine noise aside, the car will be quite a thrill to drive with 400+ hp. Can't argue with that.
