that 1.6L turbo engine is actually part of a hybrid system used in the Advanced Tourer Concept...eg most likely the next gen Legacy design concept going green.

We have only speculated that the 1.6L turbo will be be available for the wrx or brz because WRC regulations require 1.6 displacement now. And rummors were Subaru is trying to get back into WRC with that engine.

But reality is...nobody really knows (unless your subaru of course).

YOU GUYS SAID IT WOULDN"T BE DONE!

I think I just ate my boot. Tasted pretty good, actually...

370z's aggressive gearing?!!!! :lol:
I got rid of that car after 1 year of owning it, it always felt like 50 horses where DEAD due to the bad gearing on that car.
My friends stage 1 GTI would keep up right next to me on a straight line.
that's pretty sad for a car with 330hp and the same weight.

I think this is great news! Good job Subaru :P

Disappointed but somewhat relieved. Disappointed the BRZ won't get more power. Relieved because I don't have to consider spending thousands more for a turbo version & creeping into larger displacement FR sports car territory.

Very interesting layout. Looks like it will be a fairly easy swap from WRX to BRZ/FR-S. Even though with the reverse intake manifold on the BRZ/FR-S it would be easier to do a FMIC. Plus you wouldn't have to swap hoods & the intake mainfold to run the TMIC from the WRX.

thats a problem for the people who like the fr-s look better. D:
