2017 Toyota 86 - new name, styling, and more power

[Mr.Impreza]

Subaru's 2017 BRZ features better performance, more aggressive styling, more features and an all-new track mode that's sure to offer enthusiasts a superior overall driving experience.

In terms of performance, the 2017 BRZ boasts updated coil springs and dampers, as well as a larger rear stabilizer bar. Further reinforcements were made to the chassis by modifying the strut tower braces, transmission cross-member plate and the rear wheel housings in order to increase the car's rigidity.

For improved handling, the stability control system thresholds were raised, resulting in a dramatic change to the car's behavior - so much so that Subaru changed 'Sport' mode into 'Track' mode.

As for the 2.0-liter boxer engine, it now has new valves, camshaft and cylinder heads to go with its new aluminum intake manifold and redesigned exhaust manifold. The result is a slight increase in power to 205 HP and 156 lb-ft (211 Nm) of torque and better acceleration on 6-speed manual transmission models thanks to the new lower final drive ration (from 4.1 to 4.3:1).

Customers craving more can opt for the Performance Package, available on Limited spec versions. It includes Brembo calipers and larger rotors on both front and rear brakes, giving drivers a sizable boost in terms of stopping power, fade resistance and pedal feel. Also included in the package are the SACHS Performance shock absorbers and the unique 17" black aluminum wheels.

Styling-wise, the 2017 BRZ presents a redesigned front bumper, upgraded "Kono-Ji" style LED headlights, standard DRLs on all trims, LED fog lights, body-colored rear spoiler, full-LED taillights plus the new 10-spoke 17" alloys available on the two spec versions (Premium and Limited).

Inside, the Limited model comes with a 4.2" LCD multifunction display (6.2" on Premium spec), providing the driver with information such as lateral Gs, accelerator pedal position, braking force, steering angle, oil and water temperature, plus battery voltage and an integrated stop watch for recording your lap time whenever you find yourself on a race track. Also, those who prefer the automatic transmission will get to shift gears via the paddle shift controls. More subtle interior upgrades include the wrapped meter visor, updated HVAC control panel and "BRZ" embroidered in red on the front seats.

With Subaru Starlink smartphone integration and apps such as iHeart Radio and Stitcher, the 2017 BRZ is a well-connected car. It's also comes with Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming, plus SiriusXM Satellite Radio, TravelLink and a handy Rear vision camera.

The 2017 Subaru BRZ is due to arrive at retailers in early September, though customers will need to wait until winter 2017 until the Limited version with the Performance Package arrives.

Giving Subaru another reason to deny warranty claims. "Oh, we see you were in track mode recently, you must have been racing the car and we won't cover any premature wear items on a car that was raced. Sorry!"

First explanation I've seen for the massive 2.5% increase in horsepower.

Wonder how involved a swap would be for those parts.....

I wonder if that display will be able to be retro fitted into the older models.

Let's hold off on any celebration until we see any of these "facts" actually come from Subaru.

For 5hp? Not worth it imo

Yeah, my thoughts too. Current headers and tune get you that.

[Freude am Fahren]

Pretty serious changes for just 5hp, I'd like the see the whole curve. Maybe they improved on the dip from the factory?

The wing is terrible. Also, did they get the specs backwards? The Limited being above the Premium, I would think would get a larger display.

OK so some of this is confirmed by Subaru (not all but some). http://www.subaru.com/2017-brz.html


Can't wait to see the price tag on those top trims!

I don't think I've ever seen more drifting in an official OEM product video promo. Holy hell.
