"I hope to make an engine upgrade at least one time with this car," Tada told Drive.
"We [have] already tried all possibilities and there are several types of 86 prototypes at the Toyota proving ground now; one is a turbocharger, one is bigger displacement and [the other is a] special hybrid system."
"All possibilities are being considered."
Tada would not divulge any further details, but inside sources claim the most likely option is an increase in displacement, bumping the 2.0-litre horizontally opposed engine out to 2.5-litres and increasing power from 147kW to around 190kW.

I'm conceptually excited for a new 86, but is this anything more than a faster Subaru BRZ? I certainly won't complain, but I find it interesting the styling is so similar. Unless it's just a placeholder of course.

I've never heard of a "twin charger" (turbo and supercharger setup) until now. That sounds both complicated and expensive as hell.

Go down to the TSI engine; it's twin-charged.

260 hp with that weight will be quite similar to a Cayman S for power-to-weight ratio. That's plenty quick for most people.
