Imo, a beefier version will come
 

Obviously they won't tell you if they are planning on creating a beefed up version. They want sales NOW and doing that will just cause buyers to halt and wait out for the next version. They WANT to kill any speculation of there being a beefier version.

But imo, there HAS to be a beefier version coming sooner or later. There was a void in the market for a cheap, low weight, flat engine RWD with a true sportscar feel that they've filled. If sales slip (like they are now), 3 things will happen:

1) They kill off the brand. This is extremely unlikely. Why would they abandon a market that is much needed? Why would they let the competitors just jump into the cheap sporty lightweight RWD market when they have the lead so far? When they have, essentially, repioneered it for modern day? Short answer, they won't.

2) They keep pumping the same car with very minor changes. This is a very real possibility for a few years but sales are beginning to slip. If they want people to remain interested, they MUST rejuvenate their car sooner or later which leads to...

3) Sooner or later, a new variant will come. And what does everyone want in their FRS/BRZ so far? More power. The FRS has only 1 trim level so far (bar the limited editions). A new more powerful trim is just begging to be made. Same with the BRZ. Another more powered trim can easily be fit in.



tl;dr: The FRS/BRZ is an iconic coupe car for both Toyota and Subaru, which is much needed in their respective lineups. No way in hell would they kill this off and let competitors like Nissan/Honda waltz into this market (which they are eyeing on btw). And if they don't kill this off, obviously, sooner or later, new trim levels will be introduced because the market demands it and obviously those trim levels would have to be more power.

We already have three of four threads on this topic.

Why did you make a second thread?

C'mon dude, seriously?

.

I want to buy a RWD sports car, light weight, 300+ HP from the factory for $40,000. Is that too much to ask for?

I thought you locked this thread?

Just sell your car and go somewhere else if your gonna bitch.

Why is everyone commenting to wait for a "beefier" or more powerful version of the car?

I don't have trouble keeping up with traffic or even passing traffic. I think everyone is caught up in the straight line numbers. To be fair I don't ever plan on tracking my car or ever racing it so maybe I'm missing something here.

I plan on tracking the hell out of the car when I pay it off…..without a power increase. The car is fine as is. Even "low on power" the car is still a hell of a competitor in autox, and after some time, I think it will be the same way in open track as well. I like NA, I like the boxer engine. I plan on keeping both

Considering the Twins have a NA 2.0 liter motor, I'd say our cars have a very respectable amount of power. My car pulls as hard if not harder than my MKV GTI did on the freeway. The Twins have great top end and absolutley love to be revved.

Why.
Are.
You.
Doing this?

OP I ask how many threads on same dreamy topic need to be made? Could you not have just posted your thoughts in another existing useless thread on this same repeated never gonna happen topic? People refuse to believe I suppose. Wait an entire lifetime or buy now and throw a FI kit on it now...

hopefully man. I never check the general section of this forum so I found it quite interesting. looks like quite a lot of people are pissed though LOL. I dont really care if a beefier version is coming though since I already bought an frs. I would rather go the turbo route than sell my car and buy a newer version. unless we are talking about like 400hp which is never going to happen
