They also said the 86 would weigh 2,500 lbs :shrug:

Yes, we shall see, but I found some other recent references talking about the new 1.6L engine, I just don't know Japanese, and Google translate butchered it.
240hp from a turbo 1.6 would be something else.. The Ford Fiesta, by comparison, uses a turbo 1.6 using DI and gets right around 200hp. And if they are using a big turbo to make tons of boost, I wonder how they will control lag?
Will be interesting to get more details.
