Development does not equal "confirmed". There's probably hundreds of prototypes developed over the past decade that never got built. Building prototypes does not mean anything will happen. I bet there's FWD Subaru's and RWD Hondas and Mazda 6's with Rotaries and a Mustang Hybrid, doesn't mean any of those will see the light of day.
But yes this article is old news, I think they'll sell a convertible but in small numbers but I doubt there will be a turbo.
Edit for reference here's the original source of the OP's article:

Which has no cited source I can see, looks like the author pulled it out of his ass or an unnamed press conference or by holding a PR guy at knifepoint
