    Both models will have the delight running on 17-inch alloy wheels. In addition they will come equipped with torque-sensing limited slip differential and fully automatic air conditioning with dual-zone controls.
    What is more, BRZ versions will include electrically-folding door mirrors with heaters; keyless Smart Entry with push-button engine start; leather-trimmed steering wheel, parking brake and gearshift lever; and a high-quality six-speaker audio system with CD, radio and iPod connectivity.
    However, heated leather seats will come only in the SE Lux variant. More optional extras for instance are the pioneer satellite navigation and special paint finishes.
    2013 Subaru BRZ will be produced in six exterior colors: Satin White Pearl, Sterling Silver Metallic, Dark Grey Metallic, Crystal Black Silica, San Remo Red, and WR Blue Mica.

  • 2013 Subaru BRZ goes to Japan

    Subaru ThumbSubaru has just announced today that they are going to release the new 2013 Subaru BRZ in the dealerships across Japan. The start date is 28th of March.

    Subaru BRZ is a sports car that undeniably provides driving pleasure. Its front-engine and rear-wheel drive layout are powered by the Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine. The aim here stands under the slogan “Pure Handling Delight – the driving experience taken to a new level”. The ultra-low center of gravity packaging is delivered by mounting the Boxer engine as low as possible. By mounting the Subaru Boxer engine as low as possible within the chassis and closer to its center, the boxer’s inherent benefits of low center of gravity, light weight, and compact size are optimized. This also ensures good traction of four wheels, excellent maneuverability, stability, ride quality and balance. Furthermore the engine is newly developed and generates 100 ps per liter with exhilarating revving nature. It has also improved environmental friendliness and more fuel efficiency. BRZs stability control is featured too on all models.
