As for how much power the Variomatic can handle I'm currently finding out with my 66, it's the Gordini engined one that was turbocharged in 2021.
It is now normally aspirated again, ported Gordini head, 1690cc based on a B14, Emerald engine management and independent throttle bodies.
It's about 130hp at 6000 rpm and I'm experimenting with a nitrous oxide kit on it this year.

Beautiful! I bet that's a proper pocket rocket, are you going to retro rides at Goodwood with it?
