Subaru’s stunning new 2+2 coupe has already generated high levels of interest at
dealerships, with many customers placing orders before pricing and standard equipment have been announced.
The Japanese brand has now revealed that top-specification models come
with 17-inch alloy wheels, a torque-sensing LSD, front, side, curtain and knee
airbags, MP3 connectivity, dual-zone climate control and LED daytime running
lights. The driver-focussed BRZ will also come with Subaru’s VDC (Vehicle
Dynamic Control) and can be fitted with either a six-speed short-shift manual
or paddle-operated automatic transmission.
A second, lower-spec model will also be made available a little later in
the year, as will a third ‘stripped out' version, which promises to be the
perfect solution for those who wish to tune and fettle the BRZ to their own
tastes, as well as track-day enthusiasts.
The BRZ is available in six eye-catching colours all of which suit the
car perfectly, including Subaru’s trademark WR Blue Mica, Sterling Silver,
Satin White, Crystal Black Silica, Dark Grey Metallic and San Remo Red.
The carefully
conceived powertrain packaging allows Subaru’s celebrated horizontally-opposed 200 ps
2.0-litre boxer engine to be positioned lower than ever before. The
2+2 coupe has the lowest centre of gravity of almost any vehicle, with half the
BRZ’s mass sitting below knee height. It
promises a power-to-weight ratio of 164 ps per tonne and this, in conjunction with
its advanced light-weight chassis and use of cutting-edge light-weight materials,
endows the BRZ with exceptional handling characteristics.
ETC for
extra peace of mind
As with all new Subarus, the BRZ will be available with the brand’s new three-year Everything
Taken Care of (ETCo) aftercare package, which offers a host of potential
benefits worth over £7,000, free-of-charge.
Subaru ETCo
comprises 11 different elements, all designed to make running and owning a new
