For some reason they quote the brake size based on the wheel size. They're not actually that large 
I think the front rotors are around 328mm.
I'm pretty sure this model won't have ACD... I can't imagine them not mentioning that as an improvement when they list every single other item.

Weight is 1480 kg but that is due to them stiffening the body. I cannot even start to tell you how great that is. An Evo 7 is very rigid, that new Evo VIII will be EVEN BETTER!!! 
There's a viscous center diff, ie no ACD, like on an Evo 6. Which isnt slower than an Evo 7, nor faster, although it is lighter. Rear diff is 1.5way RS. That's awesome!
Expect lots of fun, drifting and slight on-the-limit oversteer!
Power is down by FIVE HP, ie no difference in real world terms, and the torque is the same.
You can conclude from this information that the Evo VIII that will soon be launched in the USA will be the best Evo ever built.
I am very happy for you guys that you are not getting AYC and that you get an even better car. Bring it on!

If they do not specifically mention a front LSD, then there isnt one. Just an open one.
However, given that the car is basically an Evo 7 (CT9A), a Cusco or any other brand aftermarket Evo 7 front diff will almost certainly fit.
A front LSD is better, but given that there is no AYC, you can still make the car drift nicely
