Jon Sibal does a Subaru BRZ

http://jonsibal.com/blog/2011/10/201...brz-rendering/

With Toyota/Scion releasing 3 different FT-86 concepts, I’m still baffled about how Subaru has still yet to give us a glimpse on how their BRZ model will look like. The only BRZ concept they brought out to the auto shows is the translucent BRZ Prologue Boxer Sports car Architecture.

Then they followed it up with the BRZ Prologue Boxer Sports car Architecture II but still not enough details for us to know how the car would look like aesthetically.
So I thought I had a go at it by using the above image as a base for a BRZ speculative rendering.

CLICK HERE FOR HI-RES And below is the completed version as posted at Autoguide.com.

To read Autoguide’s full write up on it, click HERE.

Without much info, this rendering is obviously just an “educated” guess basing the design language from Subaru’s existing concept cars. Reports says that they will finally unveiled the sheet metal concept in the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. Can’t wait!

I thought the sheet metal concept @ the upcoming LA Auto Show has nothing to do with the production version? Also aren't the mirrors going to be mounted on the door in the production version?

Nice renderings!

my first thoughts immediately after seeing the final version were, "Good lord those lights and grille have Ford Taurus written all over it".



I mean no disrespect.

Nice rendering!

But to me this feels more of a Scion type car and hopefully the BRZ is more aggressive looking. But Good work!

No disrespect to your work though.

I'm pretty much buying whichever one is cheaper, but damn that looks good.
