Here's a mention of it in one article. That comment isn't directly sourced, however...

As well as more power, the BRZ STI is set to weigh even less than the 1,250kg standard car, thanks to racing bucket seats and potentially a carbonfibre roof and bonnet, which will further help to lower the car's centre of gravity. Other tweaks will include a dramatic bodykit, stiffened and lowered suspension, lighter but larger 18-inch alloy wheels and upgraded brakes.

I thought I read elsewhere (months ago) another article that specified a weight difference. Of course it either had no source, was a guess, or an unofficial leak, etc. I thought it said something like 100kg less, which was damn optimistic. Not that it wouldn't make me happy.
