Subaru BRZ Concept Car | LA Auto Show Grand Unveiling
Letting Ideas Lead the Way with the Subaru BRZ Concept-STI-
Grand Unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show
The Subaru BRZ Concept – STI is a study of the sports car distilled to its essence, and it's unveiling in a sneak preview event, November 16 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Subaru BRZ Concept – STI sports a lightweight design with nimble performance. One of the newest features is the 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine that sits lower and farther back in the engine well, enhancing the torque and handling while offering greater fuel efficiency and power. It's light, agile and totally dialed in to the driver.
See it at the LA Auto Show from November 18-25, 2011. After that, the 2013 BRZ will make its international appearance on November 30 in Tokyo, while the U.S. production model will be unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Subaru - Confidence in Motion
BRZ Concept
Sometimes the biggest ideas are really the simplest. Reduce size, cut weight, better the balance, and you'll dial up the thrill with agility and quickness. The SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT‐STI‐ is a promise of what driving could be and an exploration of how a driver's car should be made. Dialed all the way up.
Lightweight Design
You can see in its tight dimensions and weight-saving carbon fibre used in the roof panel, front spoiler and rear wing, the SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT‐STI‐ announces a commitment to losing weight to quicken performance and lessen our impact. From concept to reality, excess is avoided, and only that which enhances the drive will be added.
New Boxer Engine
A new vision reveals a new engine. The 2.0-litre SUBARU BOXER engine was overhauled right down to its basic structure and retuned with advanced D-4S injection to enhance its natural smoothness and torque. Both direct and indirect injection on each cylinder optimises the air and fuel mixture, for greater fuel efficiency and power.
Low Centre of Gravity
The pistons in the SUBARU BOXER engine are laid out horizontally, so the engine lays flatter. Then we mounted it much lower to the ground and moved it closer to the driver. It promises a closer connection between driver and car, steering and response, hands and heart.
[SIZE=5]REAR-WHEEL DRIVE[/SIZE] (yes, tama iyang nababasa niyo!) *_____*
Unexpected, but not unprecedented, the SUBARU BRZ CONCEPT‐STI‐ gives shape to a new front-engine, rear-wheel-
drive platform. A configuration simply unmatched at delivering a dynamic handling character, for a car that will be devoted to
delighting the driver.
too bad wala pa ko decent pic ng front and rear view pero from the looks of those pics, i think you can already imagine it na agad hehe!

Throw a turbocharged 2.5L and it will become a nice opponent for the Nissan 370Z....

The ad and PR for Toyota 86 came out in Manila Bulletin last Jun 21:
http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/362952...ousing-welcome
Highlights of the article; key points in bold fonts:
Or if you make up your mind fast enough, you just might be one of the 77 who will own an 86 by the end of this year, for that is the number of units allotted to TMP for this year, said Yuji Goto, EVP of Marketing. He, too, had owned an AE86 before and hopes to own an 86 – “But the customer first,” he said, referring to the very limited number of 86 that will be available in the Philippine market.
Mr. Goto said they can sell 20 to 30 units a month but the supply is so limited. Around the world, there is a long waiting line for the 86.
In the Philippine market, the 86 comes in three variants – the Manual Transmission priced at P1,550,000, Automatic Transmission priced at P1,650,000 and a sportier Aero variant is also available which features a wrap-around body kit and a rear spoiler priced at P1,875,000.
A White Pearl color option is also available on all variants for an additional P15,000.
The 86 comes in seven stylish colors: Satin White Pearl, Sterling Silver Metallic, Orange Metallic, Lightning Red, Galaxy Blue Silica, Dark Gray Metallic and Crystal Black Silica.
I hope the BRZ will be in the same price range, with more units available when it's launched. Out of curiosity, I dropped by Toyota Alabang to ask about the 86. The SA said that most units have already been lapped up by all the dealers' VIP clients. So I thought buti nga para pag labas ng BRZ, di na nila pansinin. But that's just being optimistic.
