Current S2000-cars with their 1.6-turboengines are much more powerfull compared tho the 2.0 NA-engines the S2000-cars ran in 2010. I think maximum power-output has risen from ca. 290HP to ca. 310HP. But more importantly, the turbo-engine delivers power over a much wider bandwith of revs.

Old supertourers delivered well over 300HP in the end. And where quite a bit narrower. And a bit lighter as well. Therefore, i think accelerating and topspeed of those cars could very well be unmatched by the current S2000-cars. But due to improvements in tyres and suspensions, and mayby racingsurfaces of tracks as well, I think in the corners and at the brakes current cars will be faster.
