2011 SUBARU BRZ STI CONCEPT
The Subaru BRZ Concept represents the next step in lightweight performance sports cars combined with the race-bred refinements of STI, a performance brand of Subaru. The first BRZ concept car to be shown with bodywork, the BRZ Concept strongly hints at the styling of the production BRZ and features unique STI performance features.
Sleek, low and tightly-coiled bodywork blends with STI performance touches for a sporting profile. A hexagonal lower front grille, hawk eye headlights and fin-shaped fog lamps are instantly recognizable as Subaru. The exterior color “WR Blue Pearl II” is a new generation of the iconic WR blue paint scheme that has adorned both racingandproduction STI’s. The body is set off with aero-tuned lower front spoiler, unique rear fascia and a rear wing for added down-force. A carbon-fiber roof has been added to lower the center of gravity (CoG), which will be one of the lowest of any car made.
The concept car employs the totally new Subaru “FA” BOXER™ engine exclusively designed for the RWD BRZ sports car. In order to achieve properties best-suited for the BRZ sports car, the overall structure of this 2.0 liter naturally aspirated four cylinder boxer engine has been designed with a square bore and stroke of 86 X 86 mm. The inherent qualities of the Subaru BOXER engine were mated to a direct injection fuel system, which further improves combustion efficiency, running smoothness up to high rpm and high environmental standards.
