Ron,
Something is wrong with your graph since new S4 engine is producing the same torque as S5 V8 engine-440Nm. This is NO value comparison between old S4 and new S4. Comparison should be between new S4 and S5 engines.

Kreso may be able to more accurately answer this one, but I speculate that the torque cap is to stay below the tranny's safety margin and the HP cap is to stay below the engine's safety margin, possibly through a combination of ECU programming of the supercharger and perhaps a wastegate valve?

Am i the only one who thinks that they took the flame-surfaced/scalloped side panels off a BMW 1-series and the seats from a pre-MY'08 Aston V8 Vantage?!
I had an Alfa in '02 and they already did look like that. They all borrowed from them.
The image is a 2002 Alfa 147 GTA.
