Subaru officially quotes power at 345bhp and 332lb ft of torque, but Subaru's Dominik Infante told TG.com the concept car actually produces closer to 450bhp. "They quote it lower on the stand, but that's just an agreement between the Japanese manufacturers," he smiles. "In the race series they downgrade their power, but in reality - in this concept car - that engine makes 450."

Also, there's this:
"This is not a production car, and we do not intend to bring it to market,"

Concept Car -> Drool -> Back to Reality -> Driving home in my FR-S tonight is going to be a blast anyway.
Those specs belong on a 50K or more car. Anyone who thought this would be the next off-the-lot BRZ needs to cut back on the gold paint.
