I've heard as a 'yota it will be RWD and 200-220 hp, in Subi trim it will have 2 opitions RWD and 250-265 and AWD with 305, both turbo on the Subi side. Just what i've heard...

Found this:
Although Toyota’s version of the rear-wheel drive coupe made another step towards production with the FT-86 II concept, the Subaru version of the two-door appears to be lagging behind. The concept on display in Geneva is a mere skeleton of the real deal, featuring a see-through body with a mock-up drivetrain and suspension.

While many were likely hoping to finally see exactly what Subaru had come up with in order to make its take on the coupe differ from that of Toyota, it appears as if we will have to wait a bit longer before the true design is revealed.

What we know
The concept car in question is Subaru’s version of the Toyota FT-86, which was jointly developed by the two companies. As for the Subaru, we have a sneak-peak into the engine bay which will give this uniquely rear-wheel drive Subaru coupe its low center of gravity and torque-heavy characteristics.

Two months ago, spies captured the first images of Subaru’s RWD sports coupe in testing. The prototype pictured was adorned with heavy camouflage, making it impossible to see the real sheet metal. Although the previous teaser image only shows the car’s silhouette, the roofline and wheel arches look similar to leaked sketches from several months earlier.

Previous reports suggested the Subaru version of the FT-86 would utilize a turbocharged 2.0L flat-four developing 260 horsepower, but the model on display was equipped with a naturally aspirated four-banger. Still, it remains possible that Subaru could offer a turbocharged version of the coupe to sit atop the range, possibly under the STI banner.

Compared to the standard car, the STI version would sport a wider stance accented by wider wheel arches, a lowered suspension, a unique body kit, bigger wheels and a more aggressive spoiler. To complete the STI treatment, Subaru would likely opt for the turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer engine that is good for 305 horsepower in the Impreza WRX STI.

And this:
As for the actual development, Toyota is reportedly responsible for the styling of the car while Subaru is handling most of the engineering. This means the new model will be Subaru at heart, with a four-cylinder boxer engine in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms planned.

Base models will be strictly rear-wheel drive and have a power output of around 220 horsepower. Though no official details have been released, it’s expected that an all-wheel drive flagship with 300-horsepower from a turbocharged flat-four will be available as well. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard, although an automatic is also expected to be available.

The projected pricing for both cars will start around $25,000.
