The new Subaru BRZ is presented
Subaru has presented the second generation of the rear-wheel drive BRZ sports coupe. The presentation of the new product took place in California
The new BRZ is made on a modernized chassis of the previous one, that is, the previously circulating rumors about the transfer of the coupe to the TNGA platform did not come true, the car retained its own chassis. In terms of the body frame, the car is also partially unified with its predecessor, but its design has been thoroughly redesigned. At the front, the chassis uses a subframe designed from scratch – it is made “with elements of the Subaru Global Platform”. Under the hood of the BRZ the most serious changes: the 2.0-liter boxer engine with a capacity of 200 hp gave way to a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine with the same layout, its output is 228 hp. It works in conjunction with a 6-speed “mechanics” or a 6-speed “automatic”.
The design of the new BRZ is more aggressive than that of the old model – the radiator grille has become wider, the plastic panels are more expressive. The roof line has a barely noticeable longitudinal stamping for the feeling of a “double bubble” – this is a reference to classic racing cars.
