FR-S / BRZ facelift and buttlift spotted!
 
18 Attachment(s)
The front bumper will get a new bigger air intake and also headlights with new graphics and what looks to be LED lights.

At the back the photographer spotted LED rear lights, a slightly changed bumper and a bigger wing.

Not sure how I feel about that front bumper. The wing is interesting! Time to retrofit the facelift model pieces to my car!

Fastbrew 09-15-2015 01:45 PM

Whoah whoah whaoh. That should be illegal.

DSOmegaX 09-15-2015 01:47 PM

Looks like they're making it more like the FRS/86 front end. It even has the trapezoidal pattern in the lower grille

kbye 09-15-2015 01:49 PM

The moustache looks thinned out a bit, I can't make out anything different in the rear though...

MisterSheep 09-15-2015 01:52 PM

Im going to put a custom body kit on my frs and use that vinyl tape and drive around like that so they think my car the tester car.

drew_kar 09-15-2015 01:56 PM

Anyone else notice how the tail lights look different? Where it isn't taped looks to be illuminated differently compared to the stock tail lights we have now. Either that or I am just going crazy lol

Dake 09-15-2015 01:58 PM

I know this got moved, but I'm not so sure that's a BRZ under there (I mean it's obviously a GT86 really but you know).

Look at the grill, it clearly has the 86/FR-S Toyota "T" cut-out design.

Also, it may be the angle, but it looks like there are two empty spaces to either side of the open area for the radiator - I wonder if they're going to go with fog lights behind there sort of like the old Celicas.

And yeah, the tail light does seem to have a slightly faceted look.

raven1231 09-15-2015 02:03 PM

I'm ok with the current body...

TylerLieberman 09-15-2015 02:04 PM

The grille and bumper lights seem very similar to the new 15+ wrx/sti

TylerLieberman 09-15-2015 02:12 PM

Hey guys, so I heard the new BRZ is coming with updated bumpers with larger grilles for the turbo they're going to add to it. I'm being told the car should have 350hp and be a direct competitor to the Focus RS.

Should I just buy a BRZ now or wait for the new one to come out? I don't want to buy it and worry about the kinks that they have the first new model year.

I agree with you about how they are kinda going to the celica look for the front bumper.

Oh please look good!

@STV3

mokinbird87 09-15-2015 02:31 PM

it must be an FR-S not a BRZ because of the "T" pattern on the grill.

TylerLieberman 09-15-2015 02:32 PM

The big thing that stood out to me for it probably being a Toyota is the red interior trimming on the seats, and the grille pattern as mentioned above.

CLM 09-15-2015 02:34 PM

Atleast it isn't that one concept that was posted up awhile back. Front end looks OK.... the rear taillights look like thos "colin"/"valenti" taillights. The wing definitely looks interesting. I wonder if there is any change in the interior.....

rlpaul 09-15-2015 02:35 PM

Looks like they should bolt on to existing models. And the taillights are an appropriate color.

Xtreme-86 09-15-2015 02:44 PM

Anyone notice the new fender garnish

nisti 09-15-2015 02:46 PM

Looks meh, from what you can decipher.
I very much like the current look, would be most interested though in how the new tail lights look.

Iceman 09-15-2015 02:53 PM

Looks promising, and i really like the rear wing! I wouldn't mind getting one for mine in the future.

Astral Abyss 09-15-2015 02:53 PM

Mine looks better. Don't like the over sized, wide grill on the front. Looks too Ford-like. Glad I didn't wait on the refresh if that's the direction they're going.

NemesisPrime909 09-15-2015 02:59 PM

offer it in Yellow and you have my interest

Guff 09-15-2015 03:04 PM

Ohhhhhhhhh snap

FYI, it'll fit perfectly into your current car.

aegisdrgn 09-15-2015 03:07 PM

The "chin" on the revised bumper is even more noticeable now.

Fishbed77 09-15-2015 03:07 PM

These photos make me glad I have a pre-facelift model.

All the changes look a little too "Nissan 350Z" to me.

Yep or the newer model 370z

LOLS2K 09-15-2015 03:22 PM

I don't think it's all that bad. We shall see what it looks like once the wraps come off.

Rampage 09-15-2015 03:24 PM

So this might be a preview of the '17? I think I like the 14 FR-S the best of all of them.

Teseo 09-15-2015 03:24 PM

Turbo or Supercharger?

Rattle 09-15-2015 03:24 PM

Probably to soon to know but what model year would this be for? Planning on buying a brz the end of next summer, so the 2017 model. I like the looks of it now and hope this wont be for 2017 :/

Both.

chaoskaze 09-15-2015 03:29 PM

Hard to tell.... but it's such a minor update & it looked like line around the bumper got busier which is not good for sports car in my book.

But apperently 86/frs headlight will be more like brz ones.

Quote from Moto Miwa on facebook
Quote:

The new FRS/86 will also have turn-signals inside or near the height of the headlight.

Its because the low position of the current headlights bars some countries from staying legal when lowered, as that puts minimum height of signal marker/ turn signals too low to be legal (including Japan).

Well more specifically, the laws itself is not too critical to them, as no police officer will stop them for marker being too low. However, some motorsports events like AJGC, and others in other parts of the world, needs cars specifically street legal for regulations in participation. Japan gynkhana runs all BRZ right now, because FRS is not regulation compatible because of this reason. They wanted to change that. smile emoticon

MokSpeed 09-15-2015 03:41 PM

Do not like body lines of new front bumper. The new tail lights look like they're taking on the design shapes of Valenti. Very curious to see if they end up going with a LED bar style tail light like the Valenti now.

We know to be a 2017 model.

Turbowned 09-15-2015 03:45 PM

Great! It looks worse than the current generation. Nice work. Now all they need to do is keep the 200hp output and it pretty much guarantees they won't sell any!

mav1178 09-15-2015 03:46 PM

you know, if you look at the original post on a computer and scroll down fast with the Page Down button, it looks like the car is taking the corner fast in the wet!

Edit: someone make a Gif out of this. quickly, before the Admin removes the photos!
