Official Production Subaru BRZ Photos Revealed?!
 

Not sure if this has been posted, but this is my first time seeing a full image of the production BRZ without camouflage.

I really like the look of it!

Photos were taken from Roadandtrack magazine.

I really like the lines. It has better tail lights, and foglights than the frs. Is this the latest road and track?

But struggles uphills? Man this thing will need more power.

nice.

But struggles uphills? Man this thing will need more power. YES---> it does (turbo)

Road & Track gets it wrong again. 56.1" height, are you kidding?!

I hope their "picture" is simply the leaked BRZ front end chopped onto an FR-S, as the wheels , rear bumper "diffuser", and taillights are identical.

Edit: the tails are the same shape, it appears they simply have more red. Boooo for lack of differentiation.

Looks good but...

strug·gle (strgl)

v. strug·gled, strug·gling, strug·gles
v.intr.

1. To exert muscular energy, as against a material force or mass: struggled with the heavy weight.
2. To make a strenuous effort; strive: as in struggled to accelerate.
3. To progress with difficulty: struggled through the hills.

Are these confirmed actual BRZ or a R&T chop?

It doesn't say, but the front bumper does look identical to the one shown on subaru's official website so safe to say it should be legitimate.

On another note, the blackened headlights, orange corner indicator and rear tail light looks a little different from the leak. Wonder if this is the North American version??

I'm very excited. I prefer Subaru's bumper than the Toyota. :)

can someone attach the photos directly to the thread, can't view the source from my work computer! :mad0259:

it is 100% the US version. the amber reflectors, the lack of headlight washers, the reverse lights without the red triangle reflector, etc...

I noticed that the article speaks of a snow setting. How well do you think a car like the BRZ will do in the snow? I'm not expecting a WRX level where it can pull a big truck out of the snow, but the idea of a RWD car with snow mode isn't computing in my head, could someone enlighten me please?

I remember reading an article which Subaru tested the BRZ/FRS to approximately 45mph in the snow during PV stage with "good stability". Perhaps the ECU snow setting dampens the ECU response for easier control? A well balance RWD car can perform very well in snow, just not the very deep snow.

This is out in a magazine?

That's exactly what I thought! 1-2in off I get, but 5-6?! And I agree. The wheels make me think it's just a chop, why would both companies use the exact same wheels?

Interesting paint on the side mirrors, I'm guessing it's a chop and not from Toyota/Subaru.
