I remember reading that article a few weeks ago at a Japanese bookstore but seeing it now makes me skeptical about a few things. First, they themselves mention that the nur spec aero was just released in Japan, and yet they claim this model update will be released this year, only a few months after the release of incompatible aero. I guess it's possible but i think that's a pretty dumb move. Next, the article claims only the manual tranny will get a 5ps 0.7kg/m horsepower and torque upgrade. I am so skeptical of any kind of power increase claims, although 5ps is a negligible difference anyway. They claim it will make an appearance at the Geneva show but they already got that wrong for sure.
