Welcome @Ginger!
It sure is enough of an increase in power and torque. And not only do we get more of it from a naturally aspirated setup but maximum torque is made much sooner. These gains are enough to make sure the new 86/BRZ ages well over the coming years.
" Where the old Toyota 86 features a 2.0-liter with a maximum output of 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque, the 2022 GR86 features a larger, 2.4-liter flat-four with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet – an improvement of 23 ponies and 28 pound-feet. More impressive is that maximum torque peaks at just 3,700 rpm vs. the 6,600 rpm peak of the outgoing model. As you’d expect, the GR86 is still every bit a driver’s car, so the six-speed manual gearbox is standard equipment, while you can opt for a six-speed automatic if you want. Either way, power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.
