Report: BRZ STI Model Already in Works, Not Turbocharged

Subaru’s Global marketing manager Atoshi Atake has given the best hint yet that the Subaru BRZ STI model is already in the works, saying to Autoexpress that “We have already had many requests from interested customers regarding a faster version. Let me say this – we will certainly satisfy our customers. We are already working on a faster version.”

However, the BRZ STI will not be turbocharged as some have speculated. It is likely to produce around 250bhp. “We can definitely develop the intake system,” Atake said. “There is certainly room for improvement there.” In addition, there is likely to be a freer-flowing exhaust and modifications to the engine’s variable valve control system, along with an even higher rev limit of around 7,500rpm.
