Getting a little ridiculous now . . .

When they talk about a 50% power increase what are they looking at? ~90kW?

[Dion]

Standard mpi output is 47kw so my guess would be about 70kw.

That doesn't sound like too much, but I guess the car is still essentially a road car for daily use and it only weighs ~650 kg.

50% increase would be 90+ kw. On a car that weighs about 650kg that is a mean power to weight ratio. That is more than 138kw/ton. To put that into perspective, the new Golf 7 GTI is 114kw/ton.

Well 50% would only be from what it started with making it circa 24kw. So I'd expect it to be 70-71kw as already stated by Dion so it'll be around 109kw per a ton, that's some seriously good performance for a mini.

[Dion]

Google says a MPI sports pack Mini weighs 715kg so about 100kw per ton excluding driver, still I'm sure it will go very well and will have loads of torque.

Did the Mpi only produce 47 KW? That is sad. I thought it would be better than the GTS at 55 KW. Probably emmision control etc.
