Guys, the +50 hp was never quoted from Subaru. The editor who wrote the article probably put that figure in as his own opinion/speculation.

Same. This almost makes me want to wait. Maybe it'll be released in May 1st, 2014 and we'll find out the price of it April 30th, 2014.

True....BUT, in the autoblog article they asked Toshio Masuda the BRZ senior project manager:

"I asked Masuda-san point-blank if indeed there will be an STI-style turbocharged BRZ by the time this generation reaches the middle of its life in two-and-a-half or three years. A number came out of his mouth that raised my eyebrows. "In future, there is the thought to have as much as 280 horsepower."

So the 250hp is possible and maybe Atake is being conservative. How they get to that HP is still up in the air though.

250NA HP with STI performance stuff and look!

Awesome news!

Doesn't seem like the best idea to be leaking this now, I agree. If they come out with anything resembling a release date for it, I'm pulling my deposit and holding out for the STi model... I just hope I can still put a supercharger on it if they bump up the power while still keeping it N/A. I guess they couldn't increase C/R much more than they already have.

No turbocharger

The FA20 can be engineered to attain +50 or +80 HP if you let engineers have at it without reserve (extreme case of a car without compromise: MP4-12C). +50 NA HP would be awesome but also awesomely expensive. As a massed-produced car, they also have to consider cost, reliability, fuel efficiency, etc. and dial back a bit. Probably the most direct way to achieve this starts by increasing displacement.

I'm kinda glad they're not turbocharging it. I like how they're sticking to the original theme of the BRZ.

I'm interested in how the "dramatic" body kit will look.

SUB-FT86 · 03-28-2012, 01:31 PM

I hope they use a damn 2.5 for this one.

Cessblood · 03-28-2012, 01:34 PM

I have to see it to believe it

the concept car was not dramatic. probably similar to that... IMO tastefully done w/ exception of the wing.
