The Subaru BRZ is a compact rear-wheel drive sports coupe developed and produced jointly by Subaru and Toyota. The official premiere took place at the Tokyo Motor Show in December 2011. Both companies are bringing the car to market under their own brands, so in addition to selling the Subaru BRZ around the world, the same car will be marketed as the Toyota 86 in Japan, the Toyota GT 86 in Europe, and the Scion FR-S in America. The differences between the cars, except for the nameplates, are minimal and lie in the exterior: different radiator grilles, front bumper, slightly differentheadlights, as well as decorative "gills" on the fenders, which Toyota does not have. BRZ stands for: (B) oxer (R) ear-Wheel Drive (Z) enith.

Engineers are proud of the engine and its location. In pursuit of superior handling and cornering stability, the engine was set as low as possible and pushed as close to the center of the body as possible. To do this, many of its components had to be reworked (for example, they deployed the intake manifold, lowered the crankshaft, tilted the radiator). The result is an exceptionally low center of gravity of just 460 mm andweighing between the axes 53:47. The entire platform of the car was created for this layout. They even had to develop a new crankcase to maintain ground clearance. Low weight was also one of the priorities. And here the designers coped with the task: the weight of the BRZ in the modification with "mechanics" is only 1202 kg.

If Subaru was responsible for the chassis, the exterior design was carried out by Toyota specialists. The car is small - 4240 mm long and 1775 mm wide with a wheelbase of 2570 mm. The low bonnet of the Subaru BRZ allowed the fenders to stand out for a more striking body.strong, and also omit the line of windows. With a machine height of 1285 mm, the glazing area is one of the largest in its class. The coupe is distinguished by stylish lines, short overhangs and predatory optics.

The declared layout is "2 + 2". However, the rear seats should not be taken seriously. There are more places for children with Isofix mounts. Subaru BRZ is a car designed for one person - the driver. The salon is ascetic. The interior design largely indulges the owner's racing ambitions. The front fascia is simple and stingy - a nod to sports cars. From the same place - centtachometer seat with built-in digital speedometer on the dashboard. On the "beard" - climate control and some additional functions. The driver's and front passenger's seats are separated by a high tunnel. On the tunnel there is a gearshift lever and a handbrake handle. Landing in a sporty low, seats with developed lateral support. No electrically adjustable seats are provided, even in the maximum configuration. The three-spoke steering wheel has a diameter of only 365 mm.

The trunk volume is small - 243 liters. HaveYou can increase the boot space by folding the rear seats. Since the backs of the rear seats are slightly smaller than usual, they fold down to form a flat floor.

The engine is a two-liter inline four. Contrary to the usual turbocharging of motors for sports cars, the Subaru BRZ engine is naturally aspirated. Its power is 200 hp, the moment is 205 Nm. The D-4S direct injection system went to the engine from Toyota. The engine can be equipped with both manual transmission and automatic transmission. Both six-speed gearboxes are developed by Aisin. The dynamics declared by the manufacturer of the sosmelts 7.6 seconds to "hundreds" with manual transmission. Passport acceleration with "automatic" is more than six tenths of a second. Engineers pride themselves on extremely low CO2 emissions of only 159 g / km.

The Subaru BRZ suspension is typical of a rear wheel drive car. A-pillar - MacPherson strut with shortened shock absorbers. Rear - double wishbones. Thus, the front suspension provides rigidity and the rear suspension provides better shock absorption.
