Subaru isn't currently planning a BRZ STi or other performance models

Turbo not happening

Subaru's Australian division has announced the company isn't working on a BRZ STi or another performance-oriented model in collaboration with Subaru Tecnica International (STi).

Sad news for those who were waiting for a turbocharged BRZ or at least an STi-prepared version of the rear-wheel drive coupe as Subaru isn't planning a hotter model. What's even worse is they aren't currently developing other performance models, following the introduction of the WRX STi. Speaking of the WRX STi, it seems the hatchback might not happen after all even though Subaru said they will consider it to meet U.S. demand.

Getting back to the inexistent BRZ STi, the reason why it won't happen is due to limited resources which have to be targeted to improving global sales, according to Subaru Australia managing director Nick Senior. However, some distributors are still lobbying for hotter versions but for the moment an STi model is not being prepared.

Perhaps a thread delete and the ban hammer would be more effective...

not till 2016 when it gets the same engine as the new legacy with a turbo and 320bhp. you should wait to buy one.

Posting links to clickbait blog articles gets old fast, if we wanted to read that shit we'd be on autoblog or jalopnik or whatever else is popular right now.

In case you missed it, I asked the mods to do something.

Sorry for trying to contribute info to the forum.

I was saying that it isn't necessary to ban him for posting it. You guys need to cool your jets.

Turbo95eg6 04-25-2014 05:18 PM
Obviously no one has/is going to be banned for a repost.

vh_supra26 04-25-2014 05:53 PM
Lol, I'm not worried about getting banned. I actually know Jason (AKA Hachiroku), and even helped him out with his new forum FT1Club.com ;)

krayzie 04-25-2014 07:08 PM
Subaru shot themselves in the foot when they named it BR"Z" meaning it can't get any better. Maybe the next car would be named BRZZ like ZZ Gundam lol!

SirBrass 04-25-2014 07:18 PM
And all God's people said, "Duh!" ;)

:lol: where did you get your information? I doubt they make the BRZ with more horespower and faster than their golden horse in the WRX STi. That's exactly like Dodge making the hellcat with more horsepower than the Viper. Its controversial. And takes the light away from their golden horse. Subaru wouldn't do that.

I think he was being facetious, since folks keep bumping the "it'll be out" rumor by one year every time it's shown that it isn't happening.

it really shows the level of maturity when members use that kind of language.

krayzie 04-25-2014 09:50 PM
I wouldn't exactly call marketers coming up with no-value added bs special editions as "talent", turning the BRZ into the Omega Speedmaster of the car world.

Dodge = fiat - Chrysler. Viper = srt

Two different companies.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.
