Implication is 195 BHP, and a December release date, but don't quote me...

Edit: Part of the characters after the 0-100km/h section are in katakana and often for foreign words (English) and phonetically make "Deitamo". But that doesn't make any sense to me on its own, and sometimes katakana characters are just used for emphasis so that's the best I can do.

Going to have to weight for Ichi or Cyde.
Let me give it a try:

The acceleration data for 0 - 100 km/h is determined.

The two words (Chinese) before the De-ta (data) mean acceleration. The last two words (Chinese) mean determined or clarified. So the whole sentence of that 0-100 km/h should mean something like this.

The next line seems to be:

All specifics shown, 200 ps, released in December.

And this does not deviate from what we have known since July.

Having said that, I wonder if the author of this article actually *knows* all the details of the car. Maybe it is a compilation of all the information before..
