No, that is journalistic license. I think 225 is a far more reasonable expectation but there is no basis for anything right now.

You could easily fit a massive intercooler in there.
Personally i believe the engine bay could comfortably take a 6-cylinder engine (V6 Mind, not inline of course).
So i call BS on the AutoExpress artile  |
Hey Leeky. You don't post as much as you used to. Don't be a stranger.

The car was engineered to have a very small engine in the front. Make that engine more powerful with revised cams, or tweaking the DI system, but if they bring up a more powerful version which adds 50+ pounds to the engine bay I will be disappointed.

I have to agree with you. Surely people who want more power will be willing to make this sacrifice, or they might reduce some of the weight upfront to compensate. But
, seems unnecessary to me.
