Any number of other possible reasons.
Official Toyota number in Germany was given last week and it was 234 PS (= 231hp). It is 3hp more than the 228hp, so still not that much of a difference and not what selective dyno shops are suggesting.

I don't believe either in a conspiracy theory about keeping GR86 lower and to not step on 2.0 Supra or WRX toes. Toyota doesn't care if it sells a Supra or a GR86. Same about Subaru if it sells a WRX or a BRZ.
