Wow, I think it will be cool to see how PROVA does a BRZ for this show. They are a really great quality company; I doubt this model will make it to the USDM, if any.

"◆ SUBARU BRZ STI CONCEPT (display model)
Under its product concept that "everyone can experience the enjoyable driving", the SUBARU BRZ STI CONCEPT was developed to offer excellent handling performance based on "SUBARU BRZ", a rear-wheel drive sports car featuring the Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine.
STI tuning and original parts, which include carbon-fiber engine hood and roof, not only achieved an extra weight reduction but also enhanced stable straight-driving and cornering performance. As a result, the car responds exactly to the driver's input.

Carbon Front Hood (Prototype)
STI Flexible Tower Bar (Prototype)
Carbon Roof (Prototype)
STI Low Down Spring (Prototype)
STI Front Under Spoiler (Prototype)
Brembo Brake & Rotor (Prototype)
STI Rear Trunk Spoiler (Prototype)
Bilstein Damper (Prototype)
STI Sport Muffler (Prototype)
STI 18-inch Aluminum Wheel (Prototype)"



I want to know how much of a weight reduction we're talking about here

That one is actually flexible by design, JDM only piece though; it wont fit USDM bays.

More great news. Next month is looking good for new info on these cars.

"Flexible Tower Bar"
This totally new concept for a strut tower bar is designed from an aluminum tower bar divided into two segments and joined by a link ball. It disrupts unwanted force applied vertically, such as through gaps in the road surface, by flexibly bridging such force to the left and right sides, and holds strongly against lateral forces. The result is an improvement in riding comfort as well as handling throughout the entire range of steering.

i haven't seen any data on it..actually i cant think of anyone that has. Flexible strut bars have been used in races in the past by other manufacturers during the nur24hour, but iv only seen it has a tri-link to the firewall.

WELL LOOKS LIKE WE GOT AN STI MODEL BRZ COMING, if they are lugging it to TAS, option 2 would be that subaru is the dumbest and biggest bunch of jerks in the world.


Prova sti wheel=Ultra sought after product.

I def want steering wheel controls for the 86!!! TRD I hope your listening!

+1.

If both the STI and Black versions do not come stateside and the FRS does not get the the full GT-86 treatment, I think it says a lot about both companies and how they view the US consumer. Is our money not good enough for them?
