Subaru BRZ Teases Us All

Subaru keeps teasing us with images of the new BRZ sports car concept – but when can we see it all? The auto maker is being very secretive about their vehicle, with only glimpses of a production model being released. However, at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, digital concept drawings of their Subaru BRZ STI Concept were shown off. The Japanese auto maker claims they will unveil the car at this month’s Tokyo Auto Show:

These images give us a look at what direction Subaru design is taking with this rear-wheel-drive sports car. It’s unclear if the regular, non-STI production model will mimic this look, but some key features (like the 2.0 liter boxer engine) will likely remain. Though STI will receive a turbocharged variant. Each will supposedly be attached to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

The hexagonal front grille and fin-shaped fog lamps add to that Rally Car look, along with the “WR Blue Pearl II” – “a new generation of the iconic World Rally Blue paint scheme.”

The body is aero-tuned with lower front spoiler and unique rear wing for optimal down-force. BRZ also includes a carbon fiber roof to lower its center of gravity. Supported by a STI-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and 18-inch wheels, it seems like Subaru will hit the ball out o the park with BRZ – if they actually decide to release it.
