    Super Touring cars had even more with revs about 8500 rpm but also different rules and not being a rally car.

    Yes, it's incomparable. Besides no rpm limit they also had 4 throttle valves, not just one like S2000. Those are the main differences. If we had F1 rules for engine, I believe we would have S2000 with 500 Hp from 2.0 N/A. It's really up to rules

    Hmmm, what rallying in a S2000 with 500 bhp would look like? I wonder... :

    Haven’t heard for a while anything about MG, Opel and VW. Is VW active only in South Africa and are MG and Opel still alive and kicking?

    If current 2.4L cars have around 750hp (low value) that would make 625 bhp for 2.0
