The Accent SR as it stands right now will never be produced, as for the way it looks like an Echo go check the 4 Door model it looks like they stole the molds made a few minor touch ups and dropped in the new Accent drivetrain. Also the Accent is a low end machine they might get away with charging up to 20g's for it but nobody will buy it if it comes in at the same price as a well equiped Elantra. As for the drivetrain from what I've been reading about it on a couple of other forums is that the 2.0L turbo engine in the SR is a current generation 2.0L Beta, from the start the Beta engines were meant to be turbo engines from the factory but Hyundai backed out at the last minute citing reliabilty goals, there are a few street examples of Betas being turbocharged in the neighbourhood of 400hp at the wheels but most keep them in the 300hp range and use them as there daily drivers.
