Yes & no. Currently, my uncle in Japan is digging into Toyota to get invitation to see the early release of this car... so far no luck

Given Toyota's history of engine nomenclature, how about we dub this unknown engine 8FB6-GE as a working title...

I vote 3FB-GSE.

3rd gen FB, G performance design, S direct injection, E electronic control (Still...?)

ichitaka05 · 07-29-2011, 12:38 AM

iirc there was a thread bout naming of the engine... it was somewhere...

serialk11r · 07-29-2011, 02:50 AM

I thought E was electronic fuel injection...in that case maybe they should start knocking the E off the end of their nomenclature...leaves a spot for an A without 4 letters in a row

Those all look like strange names, SUBARU would never stamp them with such codes. hahaha

Subaru to show more of the concept @ Frankfurt next month
Are they naming it BRZ?

BRZ? Boxer, Rear drive, Zenith?

I wonder if they mis-translated 'Apex' as 'Zenith'...

sneaky · 08-23-2011, 12:57 AM

Toyota: FR-S = Front-Engine, Rear-Wheel, Sports
Subaru: BRZ = Boxer-Engine, Rear-Wheel, Zenith

Are these terms coined by the same marketing guru?

Yeah, the "BRA" might be a bit much, but "BRZ" is a lot like CRZ, and I don't think that is a positive comparison. People will say, "Breeze", too, which was an awful little Plymouth.

HRA? Horizontal, Rear drive, Apex?

actually the HRA sounds good & makes sense

Good find and thanks for sharing. I'm personally not a big fan of BRZ and wish they used an actual name for the car. Oh well.
