If the 2015 Corolla has about 140hp on a 1.8L for good MPG, what's pushing a 1.8L to 40 more hp?
A FA20 2.0 would be exciting....but would much prefer as inline 4....dohc rawr.... resurrect the 4age! With more hp/torque though. MPG 24 city/34hwy manual would be amazing!
Weight on S-FR hoping about 2400 lbs for that size. Although mini cooper S were about 2600...hmmm

According to linked forum thread, specs have been revealed:
http://www.sfrforums...130-HP-2160-lbs)
Toyota 1.5L 2NR-FKE engine.
130hp and 2160 pounds.
HP is similar to the non-2.0L Miata in Japan & the rest of the world. If it comes here, perhaps it will get a 1.8 or 2.0L. I wouldn't expect anything over 175-180hp.
Remember, everyone: this is supposed to be more of an affordable, economy car than the FR-S. It will have less performance, not more. Don't get too excited.
