This engine should have came with at least 175hp to begin with.

What I really want to know, is why Volkswagen went to the trouble of creating a normally aspirated 2.5 5-cylinder 20V engine based on half of the Gallardo's 5.0 V10 40V engine, when they could just have fitted their own well-proven 1.8 Turbo 4-Cylinder 20V engine?

Hmm...why?
