The engine is 2.5L turbo so even on a modest 100BHP per litre, thats 250BHP + the 40 odd electric, in std spec the engine does 177 as it is very detuned. Very soft cam for fuel efficiency, but surely someone has worked out a way to increase the boost pressure, it would (assuming the eCVT box could handle it) make it way more fun to drive. The push back I have always heard is ECU not possible to hack and the reason they say......if that the balance is finely programmed for transition between the engine dropping in and cutting out, change this significantly and you will have noticeable changes , like an unwanted gear change.... Shame as I think 290BHP the car would handle a dream and also be FAB to drive....
