Subaru spent a couple of days photographing the all-new, highly anticipated 2013 BRZ. They thought, why not bring a couple of enthusiasts along, let them drive the car and tell us how it felt? This is what they had to say.

One of the enthusiasts is an active FT86club member (scotto) and his additional review and thoughts (along with the video) are in this thread.

GRMN Gazoo has revealed its twin charged 86 concept! This concept 86 features both a supercharger and turbocharger, good for 320hp / 421 Nm (310 lb-ft) torque! It’s current a ‘concept’ but we hope to see some derivative of it as an actual product or kit!

The first Scion FR-S OEM accessories have hit the Toyota/Scion dealer system. It’s not a terribly extensive catalog so far, but more is surely on the way, as well as TRD parts. See what’s available so far INSIDE.


Ever had a hunch that the Japanese dealer experience would be better than most if not all dealership experiences here in North America? Apparently you were right.

A site member shares with us his experience from checking out the Toyota 86 at a Tokyo Toyota dealership. He shares with us his thoughts on the car, dealership differences, parts, and more. Oh, and bonus pics of a fully decked out TRD 86 to boot!

It wasn’t just mothers that were celebrating this past weekend, but also many lucky and happy new Scion FR-S owners on our site who took delivery this past weekend. Congrats to everyone!

Here’s a list of some of our new FR-S owners.

DIG1992, a site member from the Middle East, provides us with some photos and his impressions of the Nur Spec kit, which was on display at the Motoring Middle East meet event.

Check out his impressions and some eye candy INSIDE.

There have not been many videos of high speed runs in the BRZ / FR-S / 86, but this one shows the BRZ accelerating from 0-124mph (200kmh) and that the car pulls pretty decently up top. Gentlemen (and ladies), start your stopwatches 🙂

What an exciting week it’s been with the first US deliveries coming to our site members! Not to be outdone by our FR-S members, site member cwik took delivery of his Subaru BRZ yesterday, our very first BRZ delivery. Appropriately, it’s a World Rally Blue BRZ, which was the launch and marketing color Subaru chose for the BRZ.

Enough with our words though, see cwik’s first owner’s photos and review after the jump and congrats to cwik!!
