Motorcycles in the market these days have upped the technology stakes compared to cars when it comes to extracting BHP's out of engines. Taking cues from Motorcycles makers, carmakers have started to tone down engine sizes while extracting double the power than previously possible.


This has also been possible after the governments of various countries have started slapping car makers with duties and taxes if the engine sizes go above a certain size. Here's a list of 1200cc petrol cars available in India which might fit your requirements.
