We won't know until after it's released. Its a brand new engine with new technologies that will take time to properly understand. That being said, most people suspect there isn't much more power to be had out of it, as it's already 100 hp/L.

Hey hey hey! iPhone Jailbreak came first dammit.

I don't know about that, basic bolt-ons and tune can yield about 25whp from a Honda K series

That's what i first thought. Or maybe they had 'pre-aproved angles' in which the photos could be taken. Either way we already know what the interior will look like.

The engineers assured him that there will be two manual gearbox options with different ratios
I wonder what does this mean?

Stupid question, how many units Toyota/Subaru are going to make per year?

^ this is what I was thinking too! The first couple of turns is where they took the pics then the rest is turn off your camera, grab the oh sh*t handles and hold on!

We'll just have to wait and see, won't we? It would be sweet if the D4S system proves to be flexible enough to allow up to 40 hp with a tune and bolt-ons.

Lol that's probably why he's wearing sunglasses and has a poker face. You can totally see how impatient he is, like hurry with the photo so I can burn some rubber.
