Actually the 300hp engine is real, they’re using the Honda Accord 2L turbo in 2021, basically the TypeR engine, it’s compatible with the Toyota TNGA chassis cause my cousin who works for Lexus swapped one in his scion TC, it bolts right up as long as you use the Evo9 bellhousing on the transaxle from a WRX. Tcote was exaggerating about the weight though it’ll be about 850lbs.

Can't wait to see the responses next year when the 300 hp turbo Toyota engine, 800 pound, built on a Toyota platform, $25,000 version that the clickbaits keep talking about fails to show up.

We all knew what we were getting into with these cars but seeing the $26k Mustang Ecoboost Dadillac got into, it's weird how they can't seem to do the same at Toyota/Subaru for the same $26k we had to spend.
I don't know just put a oem turbo in whatever engine in there and make everybody shut up already.

When they start selling 130,000 Twins a year they can start offering several different versions for cheaper prices.
The fact that Ford is dropping about 40% of their lineup and have to be bailed out by the government several times should tell how well their business plan works anyway.
Comparing the two is like putting apples against watermelons.
The reasons why they can not just slap a turbo on it have been discussed 1,000 times on here whether people want to believe them or not.

I like the green too. With any luck I’ll get to check one out.

You can come see mine if they get it in a MT.

Same here, it wasn't posted on their global site either.
