It kind of makes sense. Subaru revealed the BRZ in the US and Toyota revealed the GR86 in Japan. Justifies the difference in HP.


The new 2022 Subaru BRZ U.S.-spec model gets four less horsepower because it complies with U.S. emissions standards. Subaru of America achieved compliance with the EPA based on the emission performance of all its U.S. vehicles. It's the game they have to play.
