Subaru BRZ Concept! 2011 LA Auto Show

[marchingeagle1028]

Just saw this car at the auto show. It was really beautiful. It was truly disappointing to hear though that there won't be an STi version...

[driftking9293]

looks like gt86

[mb013962]

@driftking9293 subaru builds some toyotas

[ctabseller]

this car will be amazing but PLEASE....do an AWD version with a bigger engine.....it's like a new version of the 22b

[texaspete1957]

toyata should have made a 2013 supra with this car lol

[Shinamustbedown]

Looks like the Nissan Skyline GT-R of Subaru version!

[ToastyMuffinn]

why didn't they stick with the this ass design...

[djglobeone]

love the style , one thing no more air scope on the bonnet

[texaspete1957]

@toyota420xp no its not only you.this car looks nonthing like a subaru.it dosnt even have 4wd.but its still nice

[Hauteur723]

if theres a v6 STI version i'll jump on it

[Seattlewolffan12]

LFA ripoff!

[mont808]

Give me STI version, now! I demand, please.

[aznguy11111]

this one tops scion and toyota.

[chloratum]

is the car RWD? :P

[zeratulus]

привод задний это не субару(((

[Lukeentertainment]

Subaru has announced that they are planning future models that will feature a turbo, a convertible and even four doors! They had all of this in mind when they developed the platform of the car so that these future models would be possible

[toyota420xp]

is it just me or do i see a lot of nissan styling in this car

[toyota420xp]

is it awd or rwd

[thisxdamnxgood]

@toyota420xp it is stated at least 3 times in the video that the BRZ is rear wheel drive...

[toyota420xp]

@thisxdamnxgood no awd then its not a subaru

[toyota420xp]

how much is this going to cost

[MultiTaketwo]

stupid.

[katanamast279]

They need to make this prototype model instead of basically having the same thing as the GT-86

This looks way better

[shajou]

i want the tail lights on this one on the FT-86!

[woahITZscyan]

what?! the BRZ and the new Scion FR-S look exactly the same

except the BRZ has a wing and the FR-S dosn't

[aimirscatologic]

@woahITZscyan it is the same car.

[woahITZscyan]

@aimirscatologic

WHAT??!!!

thats kind of dumb....do you think FR-S has more horse power??

[iKnollex]

@woahITZscyan They are not the same car. Subaru and Toyota worked together on these cars. They aren't 'copying' each other. At any rate, I'm going to go with the STI Subaru is going to offer. It will be much better than anything Scion releases...

[woahITZscyan]

@iKnollex oooh...sorry i was raised around mitsubishi :(

and honda

[aimirscatologic]

@iKnollex dude i didn't mean they have the same performance, because i don't know. i meant that it is the same base car, because, yeah they worked together on these cars. but it is released with a scion badge only for america. the japanese version is released with a toyota badge. i don't know if the us version is any different. it may have softer suspensions and such. the brz looks more badass with the aero kit and it may be faster, but that doesn't mean it's gonna have worse quality

[aimirscatologic]

@iKnollex with the "it's" in the last sentence i meant the scion

[iKnollex]

@aimirscatologic I'm not bashing you for liking the Scion more, just giving my two cents.

[aimirscatologic]

@iKnollex i didn't think you were bashing me. i just told you my opinion. and i also like the subaru more;)

[aimirscatologic]

@woahITZscyan i don't know dude. it looks more badass, that's what i know

[iKnollex]

@aimirscatologic I personally believe the Subaru BRZ looks way cleaner and less 'ricey' if you will. But yeah they kind of are the same car, but I'm just sayin' I'm gonna go with Subaru just because they seem more reliable and the better choice overall. Scion is for teenagers who want a flashy car. Subaru has a lot of history behind it in rally sports and whatnot.

[bloodcorer]

Got no money. Sorry : (

[MisterPeetBull]

@Jbee420 I'll stick with American cars. My LS1 will always sound better and have more torque

[S1ppy]

@MisterPeetBull LS1 Miata bro, only way to go.

[whyshywank]

@MisterPeetBull And eat gas like no one. Like V8's but I think lowering the number of cylinders and cubic inches while pursuing V8 performance is the way to go.

[MisterPeetBull]

@whyshywank Haha, I can afford it.  Bozo.

[dkprodG]

Toyota FT-86, Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, lexus lfa n Toyota supra concept has body . jus lil bit difference.

[ReikoX7]

at first look it looked like toyota supra :D 

[DZoneTV]

Bare in mind, this design might not be the final one when it's production ready.

[MisterPeetBull]

This is just a Toyota FT-86 wearing Subaru badges. Toyota design all the way. Sorry Subaru fans.

[Jbee420]

@MisterPeetBull um the design team was a collaboration, and it's running a boxer-4 engine hardly a "toyota design"

But I don't care cause I like all 3 versions and will probably try to pick one up once they start coming off lease.

[Aqrab1]

but what about the engine power ?

[bibble05]

sucks that this nice car doesn't get a turbo

[AltronZero]

ITs a good looking car but today, people buy cars for utility instead of glamour. ITs Either a Corrolla, an Altima, a BMW or a SUV.

[vordaks]

hate the from black out, why not paint same color?

black out is only beautiful when the front is rectangular make it more aggressive ... not when the front is round or smiley......

[rotarycorvette1]

looks like the toyota ft86 wtf

[Meldola07]

@rotarycorvette1 Well, thats because it is! Toyota and Subraru made it together, and both will have them in their product lines. With different names of cause ;)

[rotarycorvette1]

@Meldola07 I hope they dont become the new COROLLA AND GEO PRIZM OF THE DECADE

[DRFTmonkeh]

@rotarycorvette1 REALLY

[sparvar11]

u can easy put a turbo kit, very nice car like the "twin " ft86

[maginext]

old skool gtr remake please

[maginext]

and its na wtf. no thank you subru give me a turbo.

[fastjdm]

NICE SUBBY! FR too! :)

[pipipie07]

Love it

[DZoneTV]

Despite everyone's 'complaints' I like it.

[Thursday377]

naturally aspirated STI? I don't think so

[borja221ti]

song ??????

[MASISUSA1993]

now i respect subaru finley built a real race car.not like four door family car sti.

[sellihcra]

Looks like a 350 z or new GT-R

[NallePu83]

Look little bit like Mitsubishi Eclipse

[TawineDR]

How much you think it'll cost?

[jesus160607]

@TawineDR base price 25k I would say, and a turbo charged one no less than 35k

[TawineDR]

@jesus160607 I thought the base price would be higher

[streetpunk83]

@jesus160607 a 10k jump in price for a turbo upgrade you could do yourself or at a shop for 3500 hundred hahahaha thank god your not in charge of prices on cars

[GinoJerry86]

Naturally aspirated?!? Since when does Subaru especially the sti's make n/a...

[DlRTYBiRDz]

they put a huge spoiler on a car that'll have at most 180 hp lol, well i cant wait to see what else is coming out if they're willing to make a miata/camry look this good!

[McFly2015AD]

@DlRTYBiRDz yeah it's naturally aspirated plus they put a smiling mazda front grill on it wtf! its a miata in disguise! I have no idea why you would buy this versus the WRX / STI

[MrGrizzlySteven]

this car has parts from like 5 different sports car lol has kinda of a 370 body with BMW like tail lights and LFA looks and somewhat aston martin or something like that fenders. oh and a Subaru emblem :)

[Psinitations]

i drive on SUBARU-Prodrive P2 in London in 2010

and i say You -they lost their chance. !!!

watch?v=ONVZ8QFTnb4

[lovemytyper]

dont ever let sports cars die :(

[poWERFULm76]

is to attack toyota

[mangomonkey278]

LFA mixed with 350Z.....

[wtfyourafuckindoosh]

i love how no one bitches about cars like the rsx type s when it got 200 hp. 8k rpms and 200 hp in a lightweight rwd package sounds like a blast to me. fuck the trollin haters

[wrongfire]

It looks awesome, but when do the concepts ever really reflect the mass produced product? :/

[flawns]

ummm I might wait after for a couple of generations to go by.... so the manufacturers can add some 10-50hp to it through its lifespan.

sorry 200hp is a toyota camry/ honda civic level....

[wrongfire]

@flawns Camry's and Civics are not RWD.

[isthissnfree]

the car is actually only marginally bigger than a miata.

I think as long as the car is fun to drive, the power is okay. 200hp is enough to have fun with.

Anyone who judges this car purely on numbers like 0-60 is missing the point

this is more of a miata/s2000(yes i realize the s2000 is no longer in production) competitor than a 370z/genesis v6/pony car fighter

It's a small, lightweight, fun to drive car

[wtfyourafuckindoosh]

@isthissnfree thank god someone gets the point of this car

[Jolinator]

2ltr Na ,subaru who the fek are you kidding putting such an anemic engine in a car like this.

[FrizzyFrisco]

STI/350Z/370Z they had a threesome and made BRZ

[jasamvrag]

It looks in front like Lexus LFA

[xsnownedx]

Very clean

[Sh06o]

STI/350Z/370Z mix

[BIGBX1]

This will be my next car if I can fit!!! I wanted a 370z but I'm loyal to Subaru. Any info on pricing? Its a 2.0 NA any info on baseline HP or TQ?

[SweetHubby82]

Design is a lot more Toyota than a Suby

Driving exp. may be more Suby than a Toyota

[FamilyGuyKiCkSaSS]

epic drift machine?

[pdog67]

Lovely!

[dkr624]

Not bad...not bad at all!!

[G35pudge]

awd thats all i'll drive

[vqh]

amazing

[twenty514]

Man, I can tell this car is going to be so popular. Hopefully when this gets into production, the pricing point is low enough for it to be competitive.

[reoxex]

shush with all this nonsense about awd and turbo systems, u all dont see the beauty in this car.

This car is supposed to be about driving experience, and weight, as the origianl AE86.

If u put turbo systems, 4wd, all that stuff, it will get heavy and will be like a 2 door STi.

How many cars nowadays look like that, weight under 2600 IBS, Are under 25k, and are N/A.

[streetpunk83]

from a Toyota prototype f86 to a scion prototype now its a Subaru hmm well Subaru would be the best company for the car as long as it dont start at over 25k in price i'll be happy

[TheNo1n00b]

how does it compare to the impreza?

[HKBM45]

Take off that stupid spoiler and well talk.

[CockNusMonster]

Ugly front back looks cool

[zambazil]

But what about the AWD turbocharged four door STI?

[MyLifeAsLouis]

I'm so gonna get this one rather than the Scion FRS just because it's blue and it has the STI emblem in it ;)

[EverydayPorsche]

Can't believe the retards that are comparing this to an STI... STI is a modded family sedan. This thing is an out an out sports coupe, purpose built to go quick.

[RadovanEdmond]

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE ?!

its beutiful but dosent reminds me of a Subaru ... :/

[astorbergonzoni]

from what i see this will be a corner speed monster xD

[Jimmeh0h]

@TheJuniorCop the volumetric efficiency of an NA flat 4 is pathetic. It won't even rev well coz its horizontally opposed unlike an inline 4. Who cares if NA can make big power? This car in standard form will b gutless

[LadyMyara]

classy! 

[BeamMeUpSir]

I WANT THIS CAR SO BAD!!! ITS MINE WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!

[dirk0389]

Audi TT had sex with a 370z

[GTfreak88]

+turbo=even more awesome

[MegaLongitude]

Its more like RX8 than anything

[noremorse126]

looks like a supra



[nagasako7]

If you want a AWD Subaru get the Impreza STI, dips.

It's like bitching about Chicago making deep dish pizza. If you want thin crust go to NYC.

[trabotaba]

looks like a lexus LFA

[gtsomething]

When seeing it directly from the front... did no one else think LFA?

[125ccRider]

@gtsomething Yes i was just going to put this comment and then i seen yours lol

[Xolition]

Hideous and I live in CO so these will be everywhere /sigh

[tyhyhh]

turbos are dumb

[d3r3kc85]

it lost its subaruness without a turbo and a boxer engine and a 4wd system.

i consider this a rebadged toyota... =( sad

[joshallende18]

its not an sti if its not turbo

[skinywitekid]

without AWD i will be a little disappointed about this car, being a Subaru fan-boy and owner of my own STI :(

[Rufus702]

If it can't compete with the 2012 Nissan GTR, what's the point of even considering it? Also, where on earth has Honda been hiding these past few years? This is why I was forced to buy the Infiniti G37S... Everyone else is failing to engineer a higher end sports car that can deliver.

[malehousecat]

@Rufus702 Disagree with ur 1st line but agree with everything else u said. Its all about pricing and what can u buy that ppl wont think "he bough that bcaus he couldnt buy..." 'Cheapest' real performance Jap sport cars now are - EVO, Wrx, RX8, Z. This got 2 b sold cheaper than those to move off car lots and puts it in Civic range. First job, money burning in ur pocket and u had to choose between this and a civic, what would u buy?

[Rufus702]

@malehousecat I can see your angle. We are just eyeing different tiers. Not enough companies are engineering sports cars (two door, rear-wheel, 6-speed, 300+bhp, and the looks to boot). As much as I like the performance behind the EVO, STI, RX8, I simply don't like the design. The first two are rally cars which I don't consider a sports car. The RX8 is like a girl that got out of the shower and can't figure out what she wants to wear for the day. The RX8 was a Ford crisis aversion to churn sales

[Jimmeh0h]

no turbo = poo. It's gonna look pretty and go pretty slow. the current generation of 'sports cars' are such a fail

[TheJuniorCop]

@Jimmeh0h Turbo isn't the only way to make a fast car. There's plenty of high power N/A motors.

[malehousecat]

I think Subaru is taking a risk with this car, im not talking looks here. We know the age group 4 this car 18 - 35ish, male and single. If money is nothing 2 u, and u walk into Subaru, u see this and a blue Impreza wrx sti, what would u buy? Ok now if money us an issue 4 u, u would not buy this bcuse at 18-35 ur very image consious & ppl will think u bought this bcuse u coulnt afford wrx sti. For this it to do well it must kill the RX8, 350z and pray s16 Silvia never comes OR b priced as a civic

[OregonChronic]

skeet skeet

[Shadowxx]

take off that ridiculous ass tail!!!!

[Senosuke228]

More like Porsche, LFA, RX-8, and tC!

[XenoRacing]

I think the front end could look better but than again its just a concept. I hope the FR-S / FT86 look better.

[leloodallasmultipass]

def prefer the brz over the scion... but the scion still rocks.

[St0RM33]

finally..i am happy they made the start again..rear wheel light sport cars..and nissan will follow...*uck ft86/brz..i'm getting a SILVIA S16!!! in the worst case the new RX-7!..in case i'm dying, i'll tune up my 180sx to >600hp and go to heaven!:D

[Driftuner]

same car as the toyota ft86 (celica)...i think its going to be great..the jap market needs sometinh small compact rwd aside the 370Z...

[St0RM33]

@Driftuner correct, because in europe to buy a 370z you have to get 30 to have such a budget...

[Driftuner]

@St0RM33 i know i live in germany...i dont tho that this will be as expensive as a Z, due to the 200ps mark..

[St0RM33]

@Driftuner LOL! That's why everyone owns a Porsche...and then mergel **** the rest of us in taxes..the only cheap taxes are 1.6L<..and if you can think you can get away with a wankel it's no so easy...personally i've got a nissan 200sx and last year i couldn't get insurance from any company even if in the past the ripped me off to have one..but the government requires you to have an insurance..this is totally insane..that's why EU will go down...****ing stupid government

[Solouno0]

I can not wait to test drive it......hopefully drives as good as they are saying

[tipnasty98]

Just another ls1 swap victim. 2.0l na engine hardly says sports car. Wonder what the interior looks like and how much it weighs.

[GottfriedvonCramm]

this is going to be the next celica.

i dont like the boxer engine though.

[Deredeo]

the big surprise will be when the numbers drop on the production version from STI...just the fact that there is no std BRZ, just the STI model makes me think a turbo and 300+ hp are a done deal. if that carbon fiber roof makes it to production as well...the real wet dream: STI turbos the 3.5l 6...giggidy....

[dude12345274]

i want to see if the scion or toyota looks the same

[ofnir123]

Nice to see that sports cars aren't dead

[tioguil]

nice

[MisterPeetBull]

It's just not that good looking...I mean it's not terrible but not very good.

[MELVINLATE1]

resembles a peace of shit s2k

[XenomorphLV426]

Meet the new 240sx.

[Darkevian]

fapfapfapfapfapfapfapf

brb ordering

[mirkobuti81]

Bella...ma preferisco la impreza 22b

[Tayeedz1]

My horrizontally opposed heart just stopped.....

[DeepCovere]

So what happens to the STi now??? :(

[potsmoker5000]

It's just a Toyota FT-86

[Tayeedz1]

And I jizzed in my pants....

[lilpattman]

N/A STI :(

[whatalias]

The only think I was think was a nissan 370z the whole time

[SlashRfnR]

front looks like an lexus LFA, rear stop lights look like taken from an audi R8, the engine is a Porsche patent (designed for the 911). I'm sorry but there's nothing original here

[juukyuu7666]

finally a car that does the 86 respect. just what ive been waiting for

[cmzangetsu1993]

Reminds me of a Porsche for some reason. 

[boravw1]

FTO....



[freznokidd]

IMO, subaru shouldnt produce a NA STI unless output sits around 260hp, as agreed wit previous comments, looks more refined, but definetly would b nice if options were available... this concept i think would b better suited as a "WRX' trim as opposed to "STI" trim.

[brittonray]

 who would have thought the toyota version would be cooler....by miles? Oh well they still have a chance to do the sti

[kingdms]

In my opinion this looks a little bit better than the FT-86.

But both cars are just beautiful :)

[niggaberry1017]

Awesome, Subaru still stays true to it's boxer 4 banger but a 2.0 n/a and it's a sports car, I thought thus was going to have a FA"22t" but they should have put a twin turbo like the older legacies.

[hkj73]

That car was built in collaboration with Toyota.

[vaniovanio]

Definitely looks like an ugly Peugeot...

[NinjaRider777R]

It looks like parts of a Nissan GTR, a Toyota Supra, and a 2012 Mustang all thrown together.

They need power options and drivetrain options like a single or twin turbo system, and a 4WD option

[xdmds200092]

@NinjaRider777R looks more like an rx7 supra blend

[NinjaRider777R]

@xdmds200092 Nissan GTR Nose, Mustang GT Rear Quarterpanels, Supra roof, generic wing.

[psyku]

@NinjaRider777R

This car is meant to drive RWD, the rest you can mod in..

[NinjaRider777R]

@psyku Engine modding risks warranty violation, unless the parts are sold by Subaru and installed by Subaru techs.

Drivetrain modding to make a RWD car into a 4WD car would not only destroy the warranty, but wouldn't be anywhere near as good as a purpose built Subaru 4WD setup.

[psyku]

@NinjaRider777R One thing i clearly said is that the car is meant to be driven RWD, and sure warranty will broken. Sadly i don´t have the money to buy this car, and even if i would i probably wouldn't´t mod it. but this car will be modified as hell by any other custom garage and other tuning enthusiast.

So yeah i have to agree on that. But i´m surprised how many people comment that this car should have 4wd

[AplosSan]

The 86 is a bit ricier... still looks good though... this one is a bit more mature dare I say. We'll just have to wait and see the final products though I was set on a 86 because of the name and idea behind it (I wanna say I own a hachiroku)

[GracefulSeegull]

I don't think the wing spoils it at all.

[toyotaprius79]

TOYOTA FT-86 PEOPLE! Yet the spoiler really, spoils the car. That's where spoilers got the name from.
