Makes those rumors sound more believable seeing how Subaru is switching up their engines for sure. This site just keeps my mind wondering more and more about the BRZ. First $27,000 260hp, now a possible hint back towards an STI as well...

Forgot to mention, they also said they will be moving the high mounted turbo under the engine. Maybe to keep a low center of gravity? |
Interesting read for sure. I think you're on to something about mounting the turbo underneath the engine. They also may be doing it to free up some space, not that I think that is necessary, I'm still learning about these boxer engines, but I can't think of many other reasons to move the turbo other than for a lower CoG
