Here are the latest Subaru BRZ spy shots. The upcoming model - based on the architecture of Toyota FT-86 - is set to make its debut in Spring of 2012, and will be the first front engine rear-wheel drive car from the Japanese manufacturer since 1954’s Subaru 1500, the first vehicle ever built bearing a Subaru badge.
BRZ stands for Boxter (engine), Rear (wheel drive) and Zenith (literally ‘highest point’), and will be equipped with a 2.0-litres flat-4 belonging to the next generation of Subaru’s turbocharged boxer engines. The entry level model will have 200hp while the full power 300hp version will probably be used for a STi variation. Both configurations should be coupled with 6-speed manual transmission and the D4S direct injection system developed by Toyota.
