Where listed, power output figures are based on the most powerful production variant of that engine, because some manufacturers use different engine maps to tune the same engine for better fuel economy, performance or to differentiate models in the range.

The C30A also made use of titanium connecting rods, which was another first in a mass-production vehicle. The lightweight rods allowed a higher RPM to be achieved while maintaining the strength of traditional steel rods.
