I would be shocked if Subaru didn't develop this engine to be a 2.5 liter from the start. Historically they have had 2.0L and 2.5L engines. If they are going to make a new engine ground up, they would probably have different displacements in mind. 2.0L=200HP, 2.5L=250HP. Kinda makes sense. If they stay NA then something dramatic would have to happen with the 2.0L engine to make 250HP. That something is RPMs. Without increasing RPMs pretty dramatically a 2.0L engine is just not going to make a ton of power. HP = Torque * RPM. By far the easiest and cheapest way for them to make more power is to increase displacement. I hope I am right, because I can think of nothing better than this car with 2.5L engine under the hood. All I know is when they build one, there will be a BRZ on the used market. I love mine, but 25% more power should sounds good.
