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.

Why don't you just buy a brz and add a turbo... the resources are out there..

Write in to its official Facebook page, and even go to your local dealer and complain that the BRZ lacks power. - See more at: http://carbuzz.com/news/2014/5/6/Eve....l4ODor9c.dpuf
LOL Yeah I'm sure Toyota and Subaru are going to redesign a car because of some people posting on a facebook page.

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.
