Thrust comes from a 1.6­liter, Gasoline Direct Injection, Dual Overhead Cam, inline­4 engine, but you choose whether or not it also includes a turbocharger. The naturally aspirated unit produces 132 peak horsepower at 6300 rpm and 120 pound­feet of torque at 4850 rpm.

Adding the twin­scroll turbo to the stainless­steel, integrated exhaust­ manifold increases peak horsepower to 201 at 6000 rpm and torque to 195 pound­feet at just 1750 rpm, and maintains the pull all the way through 4500. 

No matter the engine, choose between a six­speed manual or dual­clutch transmission, six­speed for naturally aspirated motors, turbos get seven speeds.
