I know, Ford, those fools, not using the time machine we all know they have to baseline a car that debuted 2 months after theirs.
How dare they baseline a supercar that was current and available at the time.

You don't need a time machine.
Take the first generation of the competitors model you're benchmarking against and lay out its specs. Then do the same thing for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. Take those data points and make a trend line to predict what the next generation is probably going to be like.
Repeat with other competitors to get a more reliable picture of where the segment is heading.
It won't be exact, but it will give you an extremely good target. Much better than assuming that nothing will ever be better than whats currently available.
