For the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon set to open on January 13, 2012, Subaru will be displaying two concept versions of the BRZ sports coupe. One concept will be the BRZ STI Concept which has already seen a public debut.

The other will be a new concept - the Subaru BRZ Black Edition by PROVA. PROVA is a tuning company in Japan which has helped Subaru develop race cars in the past.

Subaru will also be using the 2012 TAS to formally announce the BRZ GT3000's entry into next year's Super GT race series, Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) and the Nurburgring 24 Hour race.

For general Subaru fans, Subaru will also be showing a concept which they're calling the Impreza G4 STI. It's based on the JDM-spec Impreza G4 2.0i-S and comes with STI performance parts like a sports exhaust system, suspension strut bar, 18-inch alloy wheels, and new aerodynamic aids.

That's the best news out of all of it if you ask me, can't wait to see the BRZ rally car.

Don't expect to see anything crazy. They're probably just going to run it in Group N / 2WD. On the plus side, the IRC season opener starts on January 18th, so there won't be much of a wait to see it in action.

WTF! Initially wanting the Toyota, I then decided to get the Subaru. But then because of the TRD program, I again decided to get Toyota. And now I with I may again consider the Subaru. Will I again change my decision?

I am interested in the Impreza G4 STI Concept to wee what treatment they did.


Let us again count how many cars we saw:

Toyota FT-86 Concept
Toyota FT-86 G SPorts Concept
Toyota FT-86 II Concept
Scion FR-S Concept
Subaru BRZ STI Concept
Subaru BRZ BE Concept

Hmmm, a BRZ Black Edition sports car, now that sounds more to my liking. I hope they don't disappoint on this model.

Syldrin 12-27-2011 01:54 PM

Black edition does that mean its going to produce so much torque that it isnt going to be drivable?
