Subaru has an upcoming release of an enhanced BRZ sports car, promising a sharper and more focused driving experience, according to the automaker.
The debut of this new version will occur on July 23 at Subiefest California, an annual gathering for Subaru enthusiasts and owners held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
While Subaru has not disclosed further specifics, there are indications that the upcoming model might draw inspiration from the performance package offered for the 2024 Toyota GR86, which shares the same platform as the BRZ.
This performance package includes ZF Sachs dampers and Brembo brakes, featuring four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers. Additionally, it can be retrofitted to any 2022 or 2023 GR86 equipped with 18-inch wheels.
No significant changes are expected to be made to the powertrain. The current BRZ offers a 2.4-liter flat-4 engine producing 228 horsepower. Buyers can opt for either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is the standard configuration, utilizing a Torsen limited-slip differential.
The BRZ is currently in its second generation, having undergone a redesign for the 2022 model year. The updated generation not only increased the engine’s capacity by 0.4 liters but also provided a boost in both power and torque throughout the rev range, enhancing overall performance.
