I would assume the HP is the same.

Here is what you can learn from the available pictures:

New headlights
New cabin air filter system
New hood shape.
New location for external kill switch and fire extinguisher
New location for Dakar number plate

The ASO did not increase restrictor sizes this year , so no power increase.

The only change can think of is different fuel profile map for this years raid.

What's the dimensions of the Gordini vs SST? In particular, wheelbase and track width.

Ok i will say it. Do the gordinis really have the performance level to win this year??? Last year after he had issues and were repaired he still seem to have hard time staying up with the minis.So what had changed going into this year?
