BRZ to be featured in Fast and the Furious 6


FT86CLUB Homepage Featured Story


Looks like the BRZ is going to be in the new FF6 movie

Subaru BRZ to be Featured in “Fast and the Furious 6″ Film Set for Next Summer

The 2013 Subaru BRZ was an unexpected star in Motor Trend’s World’s Greatest Drag Race 2 (shown below), and we’ve now heard that the rear-drive sports car will be featured in the latest Fast and the Furious movie. Subaru has reportedly supplied the “Fast and the Furious 6″ crew with as many as five BRZs, and we’d be surprised if at least one of those doesn’t end up dressed in Fast and Furious garb including a full body kit, upgraded wheels, and a lowered suspension. Or smashed up. Or both.

Of course, the main changes we look forward to experiencing are under the hood. Though the stock 2013 BRZ makes 200 hp and 151 lb-ft from a 2.0-liter flat 4, a turbocharger or a supercharger would no doubt quicken the car’s as-tested 0-60 mph time of 6.4 seconds with a six-speed manual transmission.

2013 Subaru BRZ interior1 300x187 imageIn our first test of the 2013 Subaru BRZ, we were impressed by the car’s abilities despite its power deficiencies: “The BRZ treats the driver to all the MX-5′s chassis greatness — the direct, linear steering; the composed, taut ride with a touch of softness; the firm, reassuring brakes; the initial understeer that transitions gently and predictably to controllable oversteer — but adds a quiver-free fixed-roof body that communicates chassis behavior with even more precision.”

Additionally, the buzz around the Hollywood water cooler is that Fast Six cars like the BRZ might be driven by actors including longtime series stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (who appeared in the last sequel) in the latest FF movie. Jason Statham, who previously starred in “The Transporter” movies driving large Audi sedans, may even have a cameo role.

For some Motor Trend fans, though, the real stars of the next Fast and the Furious movie will be the cars. Along with the Subaru BRZ, we’re likely to see plenty of hot sheetmetal to keep us interested. About last year’s flick, actor Tyrese Gibson told us he liked the Dodge Charger police vehicles so much he was thinking about buying a Charger.

“Fast and the Furious 6″ is expected to be released on May 24, 2013.

Kind of wish they skipped our beloved car, i enjoy the movies for entertainment value but it will begin a whole generation of ricers just when i thought the ricer stuff was slowly fading away....


Maybe they will keep the cars more oem and understated like fast 5...

I've been following Sung Kang on facebook since early August when he started leaking pics from the shoots. Also been keeping an eye out for the Zx6... now more than ever after seeing this MT article. x]

Some of his pics...

This.

There haven't really been many "riced out cars" since Justin Lin has been directing (not to say that there haven't been any cars that were a bit overdone), and the imports have been less and less of a focus with each film.

And outside of the LFA, GT-R (which was stock and not even driven) along with the few clips of various imports (Supra, Z, STI) being driven through the obstacle course, I don't even remember any imports getting any real camera time in Fast Five.

cars are definitely getting better in the movies, however after seeing 2 dodge chargers pull a safe around in fast 5 like it was a boat towing a water-skier, god only knows what they are going to have the BRZs doing.

Well, the Chargers look like they're making a repeat appearance in this one, based on that greenscreen picture... likely some sponsorship money from Dodge.

I met Craig Lieberman at a Nissan GT-R meet or whatever it was at Super Autobacs in Stanton, CA (before they closed), and based on what he told me, be glad that he spoke out against Universal accepting Dodge's proposed sponsorship for 2F2F.
