Toyota will refuse to do it, they are sticking to the back to basics sports Japanese light weight sports car theory, in the future we might see a more powerful tuned version or larger displacment, and lighter now that the Mazda is claiming under 2400 lbs for the new 200bhp 2015 miata

They make a turbo FRS. You will find it in the aftermarket but you have to do it yourself.

A turbo FRS would need a new 6spd manual gearbox. The 6spd in the stock car is good but it's not designed to handle 300hp. I know people with FI will claim differently, but they're running the risk on just their behalf. Toyota would be running the risk on their warranties and their brand name. |

Toyota has 10,000 LFA engines they need to use. The '16 will have an LFA engine.
