Well, let's do some silver-lining speculation.
Assuming that the 280ps/276hp limit for advertising is being upheld by Mitsubishi, then we can assume that the X will have more than that.
We know that the 4B11 has all the ear-marks of a high-revving engine, and the 7K redline is proof of that. Since 4-cyl engines with high redlines commonly are higher in hp than in tq, we can speculate that the hp will be above 311.
Now how much higher? The higher the redline, the bigger the disparity usually. Since the X's redline isn't sky-high, I don't htink we'll see a large gap. But a noteable gap nonetheless..
So I'm thinking 325hp.

Wow I actually thought the X wouldn't be that good. This video changed everything. I really like how the S-AWC is working on the car. It looks like it is able to beat an VIII and a IX easily at the track. I love the front end but the rear end is going to have to grow on me. Once out of medical school, this is my next car.

The super all wheel control display is dangerously attractive. Dangerous as in stare at it while driving kind've dangerous. They should've made that display project onto the front windshield like a fighter jet.

i'm in love with this car.. but the back end does need a little work.. but still.. when you're driving, we won't be seeing the back end
