The B58 makes about 382 hp, the M256 hybrid variants push up to 604 hp, the Hurricane up to 550 hp in the Scat Pack, Skyactiv peaks around 340 hp, and the S58 delivers up to 523 hp in the M4 Competition. The piece highlights how inline-6 performance has evolved since the 1990s, notes the role of hybrids and platform sharing in these comparisons, and touches on potential future Supra options.
