A Japanese test group has just been spotted at the Nurburgring driving what appears to be a prototype for the Subaru BRZ STI. This Subaru BRZ was being driven by some Japanese drivers, and accompanied by a rather large Japanese contingent off-track.
The car wears most of the BRZ STI parts previewed by Subaru so far - black front splitter and new, lower side-skirts that both wear STI badges. STI badged brakes can also be seen behind new 14-spoke, STI branded wheels. The dual exhaust tips look to be significantly fatter than the standard models, filling the slots in the rear valance. Finally, a large fixed rear wing is bolted onto the rear deck, though it's slightly different in design than the one seen on the
BRZ STI Concept.
What other performance upgrades this model boasts is not yet known, though if it had any sort of turbocharging (
rumors), it would possibly have Subaru's trademark functional hood air scoop in some form.
