BRZ that stands for Boxer Renaissance Zenith or Boxer Rear Zenith will be produced on the same assembly line as the Impreza. Its flat-four engine will help give it one of the lowest centers of gravity—and hopefully, some of the best handling dynamics—of any current small sports car.
There are no door frames. With the frameless doors comes an especially strong application of Subaru’s ring structure, with more high-tensile-strength steel than even other recently introduced models.
Toyota has been responsible for the design and has lent its “D-4S” direct injection technology to the engine, which is rated at 200-horsepower and 205Nm (151 lb-ft) of peak torque and has a perfectly square 86-cm bore and stroke.

The 2.0-liter horizontally opposed (‘flat’) four-cylinder engine is mounted so low, Subaru believes it has a lower centre of gravity than a Ferrari 458. Subaru boasts that this is the world’s smallest four seat rear-wheel drive coupe Transmissions are Toyota (Aisin) units—a six-speed automatic and a six-speed manual, both adapted by Subaru for the brand’s longitudinal layout and flat-four engines.
It’s light with 1,220kg, has worked-up torque whose peak is between 6,400-6,600rpm. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox with a short stroke shift lever or an optional six-speed automatic with paddle shifts on the steering wheel, while the BRZ also gets a specially tuned electronic stability control. The basic model will ride on 17-inch wheels wrapped around 215/45R17 rubber.
