News: Subaru BRZ STI

[DannyITR]

A characteristically un-Subaru Subaru, the BRZ STI concept is our first look at the upcoming production sports car, which was co-developed with Toyota.
Painted in typical WR Blue Pearl (the Subie fanboys wouldn’t have it any other way), as a concept, and an STI concept, it’s a wilder looking version of what we’ll expect from the street car that will bow at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show.
With a boxer engine that’s low down and front-mid-mounted, the car’s center of gravity is already excellent. This concept improves on that, however, with a carbon fiber roof. Until now all the Toyota FT-86 concepts have sported 17-inch wheels, although this car gets 18s, plus a massive rear spoiler and aggressive front splitter.
Subaru will hold a press conference later today to “officially” announce the car. Stay tuned to see if they release any new details then.

Hope they make it turbo and AWD. If not, it's a fail.

Agreed.

 

[ZEDS]

awd would be a god damn fail

 

[Janno]

Exactly. This car was meant to be RWD.

 

[HeadBanger]

Would be a fail if they didn't release both AWD and RWD

 

[Smokey514]

IMO It is gonna be most probably AWD with an option to use RWD!
My future car for sure Mags look alot better too !

 

[Kamunkin]

I hope they make it with the same tailights, if not, its even more a fail.

 

[S1FAP]

amateurs. sti = awd. always.

 

[Momo_TFTW]

hope its as good as the Dart

Article says without turbo or awd.

Would make no sense for this to be anything other than na rwd. It's an 86 successor more than a Subaru.

Subaru already has two other turbo awd sedans. I'm quite sure they didn't have that in kind for this one. At least not awd.

Would be the best setup.

 

[Janno]

If they make it AWD and turbo, no one would buy an Impreza STI.

The BRZ will never be awd even in sti form. Toyota had overall control on the cars development and insisted that the engine be placed far back in the engine bay for weight balance purposes, because of that the car cannot be awd due the the engine/transfer placement.

[Chinnu]

Elle ne sera pas AWD à cause du nom si elle tien à garder ce nom. BRZ pour BOXER, REAR, ZENITH
