Brand60's Subaru BRZ Premium
Subaru BRZ is a sports coupé developed between Toyota and Subaru.It is produced at Subaru's factory in Gunma, Japan. Worldwide, it is sold under differing model names and brands such as the Toyota GT86 and the North America-only Scion FR-S,
although each model is sold with slight differences between each. In
the United States, the BRZ is available in two trim levels - Premium and
Limited, with the latter featuring more standard equipment. The BRZ
was primarily designed to feature outstanding handling capabilities,
much like the highly regarded Toyota Corolla sport compacts
of the 1980s. It is built on a light RWD platform with a low-sitting
Subaru flat-four engine to allow for a low center of gravity.
Inspirations for the exterior design were taken from the side profile of
the Toyota 2000GT, a highly sought-after grand tourer of the 1960s. The
BRZ's name comes from three elements: Boxer engine, Rear-wheel drive, and Z
standing for the zenith.The Subaru BRZ differs from the 86's design in
the front fascia, with a different grille and headlight assembly, as
well as a different front fender vent. The BRZ's grill is hexagonal in
shape, compared to the Toyota's trapezoid. The BRZ features a wraparound
of LED parking lights in the headlight assembly, while daytime running
lights are integrated into the bumper. The suspension setup of the
Subaru is different from the Toyota.Like the Japanese Toyota 86, Subaru
offers an RA base model lacking most interior comforts and utilizing
16 inch steel wheels, with the only difference from the 86 RC being that
the BRZ RA's bumpers are painted the same color as the body. Two main
trim levels are offered: R trim, known as Premium in North America, and S
trim, known as Limited in North America. European and
Australian
BRZs offer a Toyota stereo unit, while Japanese and North American
vehicles use a Subaru unit. Australian BRZs were originally available
for sale only online. In 2013, Subaru unveiled a BRZ tS model for the
Japanese market, tuned by STI. The tS model features an improved
suspension setup, 18 inch silver BBS wheels, STI bodykit and front spoiler, a larger drive shaft, and Brembo
brakes,
along with interior changes including a new steering wheel, front seat,
gauges, and Alcantara accents. A further tS GT Package includes Recaro seats, black BBS wheels, and an adjustable carbon fibre
rear wing. The tS is limited to 500 units in total, with a maximum of
250 of them being the GT package. In 2015, a similar release of 300
units was sold again only in Japan. In 2014, as part of running changes
consistent with those of the MY15 Toyota 86 GTS, the Subaru BRZ also
featured a new key fob and two new colours, including ‘WR Blue Pearl’
metallic finish. In addition, Subaru also launched special editions both
for the United States and Australia markets. For the former, one
thousand BRZ Series. Blue editions were marketed at additional cost,
half painted in Blue Pearl and the other half in Crystal Pearl White.
This model featured STI body kit parts, 17-inch STI black alloy wheels
and red brake calipers. For Australia, Subaru launched a similar variant
known as the Special Edition, also at additional cost. It featured
stripes across the bonnet, boot and roof; 17-inch STI black alloy
wheels; STI boot spoiler plus front, side and rear-side under spoilers; a
rear diffuser and a push-button starter switch. It was available in
every existing BRZ paint hue. In 2015, Subaru released the limited
edition Hyper Blue range across its WRX, WRX STI and BRZ models.
In Australia, the BRZ was limited to 50 units with manual transmission
only. This limited edition is characterised by the said blue paint and a
host of other cosmetic upgrades. In February 2018, Subaru of America
released a limited edition SOA 50th Anniversary edition BRZ based on the
Limited trim level featuring Heritage Blue exterior color, satin chrome
exterior trim and badging; and SOA 50th anniversary emblem. The
interior features black upholstery with contrasting silver stitching;
silver seatbelts; and the 50th Anniversary logo embroidered on the front
seats and carpeted floor mats. Only 250 were made.
