Look at Porsche: while Ferrari and Lamborghini are rising their power up to 500hp... Porsche is still around 300hp... and without losing prestige and sport-habilities. Sometimes is better to have 350hp and a very good chasis (GT3RS or CSL) than a huge amount of power (612hp S65 AMG) with no handling.

the lambo and ferrari do have the chassis to cope with the power.... MB arguarbly dont. But i do agree, porsche and BMW have much better ethics with regards to power and handling. Dont get me wrong, MB and Audi are very refined but their "sports" models are all power and no chassis
