Differences between motor types?

At least in Junior WRC, there are 4 motor types: 1.6l NA, 1l Turbo, 2l NA, 1,5 Turbo.
The game makes it clear that there is no difference in performance based on motor quality.
But what's the main difference between types?

I think you may have it backwards, the only difference between the engines is quality/condition. All the engines put out about the same hp, and torque.

That's not entirely true, unless we're talking past each other.
Each of the mentioned motor types has 3 quality (and cost) tiers.
In Junior WRC (as i don't know if other classes offer different ranges), there are the mentioned 4 types each with 4 tiers, so a selection 12 motors in total.
Where is the point in having types if the tiers are the only difference?

Here's a link of the respective menu:

Top to bottom are motor types (1.6L NA, 1L Turbo, 2L NA, 1.5 Turbo cut off)
Left to right are the respective Tiers regarding quality and condition.

I said "may" have it backwards, because I'm not 100% sure.

The difference in quality/condition should be obvious, a top tier engine will be better than the bottom tier, same with condition. So....I assumed the op was asking about the differences between engines that are same quality/condition, and I believe there is no meaningful difference.
