via Popular Mechanics: Subaru already previewed their BRZ in Japan and along Southern France’s Route Napoleon, but after setting the automotive lap record at last year’s Isle of Man TT with a WRX STi (the first time a car had run the course in over 20 years), Subaru cheekily announced yet another BRZ launch, saying they “lied, begged and pleaded long enough with the organizers” to allow journalists to be the first non-racers to drive the storied road course at speed for the first time.
The experience was surreal. Shooting through the in-town section, the BRZ hit speeds of up to 120 mph– which, due to the narrow roads and nearby stone walls and trees, felt twice as fast.
