Turbo version confirmed? (apologize for this if its a re-post)
 
They claim the turbo version could " probably getting in to the high 4 seconds plus range 0-60mph"

Am happy to wait for the turbo version if its available next year.

Of course a Forced Induction model would of been available 1 day.

200hp was never going to excite the masses needed to develop a car like this in the first place, no matter how good it handles.

As i always thought/suspected forced inducting was always going to be "Turbo-Subaru" and "Toyota-Supercharged"

Who will win the race to get a FI model into the public's hands is another matter.

I'm glad the NA car will always be available, as that's the one I want!

If I wanted a turbo car, I wouldn't get an 86. Just sayin'.

ROFL! that is from December last year... There has been more reports out after this to say no FI will be coming from Factory...

Grain of salt taken from my pile.

The new Subaru liberty, in JDM trim at least, features an FA20T, which is using direct injection only (not port + direct like the n/a fa20) developed by Subaru exclusively. And if you didn't know, the T stands for turbo.

290hp and just under 300ft lb.

Agreed, also the insurance on the turbo may be sky high, so might want to just modify your base model.

Eventually this model will feature Forced Induction one way or the other.

Yes, still N/A.

If there is a factory FI option, and it can be bolted on, then FI
But NA 1st to feel the car. Only of I think it needs it, then FI
