2011 LA Auto Show - Subaru BRZ Concept STi Unveiling

The Subaru BRZ Concept STi is a study of the sports car distilled to its essence, and here it is unveiled in a sneak preview event, November 16 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The BRZ Concept STi sports a lightweight design with nimble performance. One of the newest features is the 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine that sits lower and farther back in the engine well, enhancing the torque and handling while offering greater fuel efficiency and power. It's light, agile and totally dialed in to the driver.

The U.S. production model will be unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show prior to being released for sale in the Spring of 2012. Subaru said the BRZ Concept STi measures 166.7 inches long, 70.9 inches wide and 50.4 inches tall, with a wheelbase of 101.2 inches.

Among the BRZ Concept STi's features are a hexagonal lower front grille, "hawk eye" headlamps, fin-shaped foglamps, front spoiler, rear wing, flared fenders, rear diffuser, twin exhaust pipes and carbon-fiber roof. The car is finished in WR Blue Pearl II, a new variation of Subaru's signature performance color.

The concept rides on 18-inch STi wheels and performance tires (215/45R18 front, 225/45R18 rear), and features Brembo brakes and an STi-tuned suspension and is powered by a normally aspirated version of Subaru's FA-series 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine.
