Chev was very proud of their "1st to do it in a production car" 1 hp/cu" 283/283 in '57...and their 1.15 hp/cu" 327/375 followed in the '60s. Neither was a torque monster compared to then-era Cad/Olds/Buick engines, but in lighter cars they ruled the streets...
Think "home markets" for imports and, as explained, smaller efficient engines in smaller lighter packages are simply historic responses to what Chev has already done and will be doing...which is what Ferrari's entire existance is predicated on.
"Efficency"...with CAFE 2016 looming, expect more from less...
