 Volkswagen Golf VI - Golf 1.2 TSI: Enough or go for 1.4 - Typ 8L

How much is too much? In the 1950s, you maybe got 30 bhp out of a 1.2, in the 1960s, maybe 50bhp, in the 1980s maybe 60 bhp. Now it's over 100 bhp. The specific power output of internal combustion engines has been going up ever ever since they were invented, as technology advances and is refined.
