Don't sweat it dude. That car is pure fiction from the worst of the speculation blogs. It doesn't exist now nor will it in the future.

8 more hp with 20-30 more torque would be good. Damn these news click bait. XD

Sounds perfectly plausible to me, honestly. Just tweaks to the platform....... more conservative than what Honda did with the AP2 (switch to 2.2L), but that was fairly conservative too. By going with new internals and intake manifold, they can address reliability a bit and get a slight bump in power/torque to say they addressed the "torque dip" that everyone hates. (probably)... so, they can say they aren't ignoring fans that way, despite the very small power increase.
and of course this will come with slightly changed cosmetics & more suspension tweaking. reminds me of AP1->AP2 big time, honestly. |

Cool I am half way there then! Know where I can buy one left headlight? We will see what everybody has to say about that mod.
