And I mean more watts output not that it have a greater range.Put in a more powerful battery pack
From 7th gen Si to 8th gen Si, the HP went from 160 to 197.Let's be real, Honda doesn't add a lot of power. I'd be surprised if the horsepower hits 215, with only slightly more torque. They'll probably keep the same power plant, perhaps with some beefier rods and maybe a slightly different turbo to make the extra power. They'll probably take a few parts from the current gen type r to further increase its handling aspects all while keeping the weight similar to what it is now.
2.0T Si hatch?if the 11th gen doesn’t have a significant boost in power (30-50HP) it will be left behind by the remaining competitors. The GLI is already markedly quicker, the mk8 GTI will surely have a bump in power, the Veloster N starts with 250HP, etc.
Drop the 2.0t with the specs from the accord sport and I’d be satisfied. This would bring it back in line power wise with the major players in the segment. And would still leave room for a future Type R bumped up to 320-330HP.
2.0T Si hatch?
Agreed. They need to bring the car up closer to it's competition. I think most people where expecting the 10th gen to be around 215hp-225hp.if the 11th gen doesn’t have a significant boost in power (30-50HP) it will be left behind by the remaining competitors.

I think it'll have manual and DCT option to get more buyers. I'm a fan of the manual masterrace but if it means the Si will stick around for longer I'm fine with it getting a DCTI've been thinking about this a lot recently. For the past 3 generations, the power hasn't really changed, although the handling has gotten better, that's for sure.
Any predictions on what the next gen Si will be like? I believe Honda will finally increase the power by a substantial amount (relative to previous increments) to maybe around 225 - 230 HP and similar torque numbers.
I also predict that there will be a hatchback variant, maybe even HB only - I certainly hope not, though. And if the coupe is still offered, it may be the last time we see it, sadly.
Finally, I believe it could possibly be the last generation Si. Unfortunately, EV will be more prevelant by the end of that generation. Honda, and most car makers, will be producing nothing but electric appliances on wheels.
We are entering a new era, and I am not looking forward to it.
That's what I was thinking they'd do! Drop a re-tuned Accord Sport 2.0t engine and I'm sure you've got a Si that can keep up with the GTi's. I'm more concerned about the engine performance than, let's just say, an "HDMI" exhaustif the 11th gen doesn’t have a significant boost in power (30-50HP) it will be left behind by the remaining competitors.

As much fun as that would be, I don't see Honda dropping the 2.0T into the Si. The result would just be too much like the R, even if they somewhat detune the 2.0. Seems like they want to maintain a significant separation in power between the Si and the R. Weren't there rumors that Honda actually underrated the 1.5T's horsepower numbers, possibly to emphasize/exaggerate that gap?That's what I was thinking they'd do!
