This falls WAY more in line with what the most of us expected -- an NA FA24 with a slight bump in power.



Given the power being put down on the 2.0 Supra (see D-Sport's recent post on instagram where they dyno'd the new 2.0 against the 2020 3.0), this seems like the right answer. Also -- 217hp 177tq seems also too specific to be a "guesstimate".


Anyways, I am glad to see the something other than 255HP GEN 2 COMING OUT! That we know was never going to happen.



Perhaps Subaru and Toyota will keep the twins pure after all....
217hp + 177 tq. Doesnt seem like a whole lot, but should be noticeable though, especially if they fixed the torque dip in addition to that healthy torque increase.

New AT? Must be an 8 speed unit unless they went with <shudder> a CVT.....
