Maybe they quit the light duty segment and stick to what they do best and that's the medium and big stuff. I just checked their site for kicks and looks like you are correct. 15.2L specs here:

Kinda sick to have all that power and at 2100 rpm. But I don't think 15.2L worth of internals could spin much faster than that.
