1300kg is quite a chunky car in my books, my 200bhp is 1372kg.
200km/h also isn't that fast, certainly fast enough for a round towner, but
you can get much faster...
GDI is the way of the future (at the moment) no denying it, however at the
moment it's being pushed on the economy cars.  The performance vehicles seem
to still be using sequential injection.  This may be due to the difficulties
in optimising fuel distribution over such diverse engine conditions, ie from
idle(&no load) to 9000rpm(full WOT)

It's not very interesting to look at a manufacturers torque specifications,
as they only list the peak torque value, and the rpm that it was measured
at.  It tells you very little about the actual performance of the car.
