The long-awaited Subaru BRZ is about to be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, prompting the Japanese carmaker to release more official pictures and technical details of the new model.
The car will be powered by a 2.
0-litre 4-cylinder boxer engine with D4-S direct injection delivering 200 hp with 205 Nm of peak torque.
The BRZ weights only 1220 kg and boost an extremely low center of gravity, features that will allow for a super precise and exciting drive, bringing to the table a quicker and more accurate steering response as well as better grip.
However, the car still allows for 2+2 seating and a trunk with sufficient space, meaning that the BRZ can be a sport car as well as a reliable companion for long tours.
The power generated by the front-mounted engine will be transmitted to the rear axle through either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
The latter also has a “S mode” for better shifting response and “M mode” for optional shifting.
Besides, thanks to paddle shifters and down-shifting blipping control, the BRZ can respond faithfully to the driver’s inputs.
The car uses lightweight and highly rigid aluminum wheels fitted with 215/45R17 tyres.
