So you think it'll still be NA with tricks and same displacement?

yes... thats what they are doing... we can look at RC-F engine for guidance, or those 1.0l and 1.33l engines that got updated as well.

For base engine anyway... maybe they will do V6 with FI? But it wont be base... and it will still be 3.5l because thats what they consider as optimal for V6. They actually increased the displacement in their WEC car to get better consumption :-).

Base should be the 2.0T September 2015 as MY16's IS200t, RC200t and GS200t
