How are you defining power? Check out the official specs for this year's motors:

The normal Denso motors we've gotten the past few years can provide a lot of torque (which is NOT equivalent to power!), true... but they're so slow, the overall power output is really low. Likewise, the third one listed on the sheet might be faster, but doesn't provide near as much speed or torque as other motors listed (like the FP or the 775's).
