I fear that they may have been doctored.
Yep - it's REALLY obvious that exactly that has happened. Scaled engineering drawings they most certainly aren't.

However, even if the size increases have been minimal year on year, the increases have accelerated in the hybrid era and of course there's the old story of dropping a frog into a saucepan of cold water and then slowly bringing it to the boil, compared to dropping the frog into an already boiling saucepan.

None of which changes the fact that the current cars are big, heavy units compared to their predecessors.
