New Subaru BRZ Shown Testing

Blue Maro Demon · 10-21-2011, 01:58 PM

I think the Subaru version of the new Scion FR-S & Toyota FT-86 would be the koolest looking version in my opinion and the new Subaru BRZ which is said like Breeze is going to be shown for the first time in concept form at next months LA Auto Show. And yes the Subaru verison is going to be sold in the U.S. as well I wonder which will sell the best the Scion? Toyota? or Subaru version of the same car? Heres the article of it shown testing.

off subject (kinda) who knows why all these test cars are painted in weird shapes or styles? To purposely draw attention? lol

It's to try and hide what the car will look like before they unveil it officially to the public and also to hide whatever advantages the car will have over the competition before it is released.

It's hard to see body lines with patterned vinyls.

If they end up making an sti version, which they absolutely should, it will be my next car. If they make an awd 300+hp sti model sub-3000 pounds it will absolutely destroy on the track.

It would be like a baby GTR. I would seriously consider buying an STi version.

The base ft-86 (toyota version) is supposed to weigh about 2800 lbs. An STi version is still just a rumor, but it seems to be a rumor with a very high chance of fruition. If it is built I'd expect it to weigh just under 3,000 lbs. I do know the base model is supposed to make about 220hp from an n/a boxer motor.

the race version of the FT-86 weighed in at 2400 LB and it was relatively stock, so we might see a 2600lb car at release.
