Next-gen Subaru BRZ teased
Subaru has provided a first glimpse of the 2021 BRZ with a teaser image that gives little away. The good news is that it does confirm that a next-generation model BRZ—and its Toyota 86 twin—will be revealed by the end of the year.
The photo shows the BRZ wearing new brake cooling ducts and the same ten-spoke, 18-inch wheels as the Toyota GR Yaris hot hatch. More stopping power would appear to be on the cards, then. Also expected is more motive power than the first BRZ/86 pairing.
The car will retain a Subaru flat-four boxer engine, but it’s believed to be a bigger 2.4-liter unit, offering 217 horsepower. The outgoing car produced 205 hp. A six-speed manual will continue to be offered, alongside a new automatic that’s tuned for sports car use.
The Toyota twin will appear soon, and according to previous reports, it will sit under the Gazoo Racing brand and, although undercutting the Supra on price, it’s promised to be even better to drive.
We can’t wait to find out.
