Agreed, very likely to be a Subi boxer. That is how Toyota rolls in these sportscar partnerships it seems - they like to use the other company’s engine.

I'd place my bets on an evolution of the FA series. I think an FA22 with 220hp euro emissions compatible is probably what it'll get.
I think it is highly unlikely Subaru would create a brand new engine for a low volume sportscar. As with the FA20 which was used in lots of other Subaru cars, the next 86/BRZ engine will be from the Subaru parts bin, so look there... they have 1.8s (next Levorg gets this, and possibly next WRX), 2.0s, and 2.4s. It will likely be one of these IMO.
