Great find. I'm gonna guess that the 274 is the hp and the 204 is the torque, although if you go across to the 13b the numbers are not 232 and159 so i could be wrong.

nope. it says mm next to those number...more likely dimensions of the internals like the rotors.

^Its true.

From the look of the pics, It looks like the 16x will sit more low to the ground/road. How will this work for turbo set up's like the Greddy? where the turbo is down low. Also how will the weight be affected? and what kind of tranny will be uesed?

6speed. But of course they are making an automatic just for you Dominion.

They will use fish oil in the tranny so you can remember the good o'l days of the RX8.

Horsepower speculators rejoice!
274 is on the money I think

1.3 to 1.6 is moving displacement up 23%

Guessing about 218 crank hp for a 1.3 renesis,
Would be 268 for a 1.6

Sounds like great hp to weight if the motor ever gets made and the vehicle it goes into is a true 2-door
