Subaru BRZ | News

The Subaru BRZ and Toyota’s sibling – the GT86 – have proven that it doesn’t take an avalanche of horsepower to break through the hearts of proper driving enthusiasts. After a slight restyling here comes the delicate moment to follow up on a model that has made crystal clear what is the difference between clowns and drivers. Let’s start immediately with what really matters, the manual gearbox remains and so does the layout that made the small Japanese coupe formidable.

The second-generation BRZ therefore comes with rear-wheel drive, but a more generous engine, now 2.4-liters with 228 horsepower and 249 Nm of torque, again delivered by a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder boxer. Therefore, more power but also less weight, with dimensions that always remain contained despite a design taking on more rounded and convex features – especially at the back – and with a weight that is around 1,276 kg. We can sleep peacefully, luckily there are still those who think about real drivers and know what the new generations really need.
