Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 - The BRZ

Snapping at the tail of the Toyota Hachiroku, we have her twin sister, the Subaru BRZ. Not letting Toyota steal the thunder at the Auto Salon, Subaru brought out their STI Concept and a "Black Edition" from Subaru tuning specialist, Prova.

Contrary to what some might think, this is not the same car shown earlier in the LA Motor show. The one shown previously was based off the old FRS showcar's body, with more pronounced body sculptings and sharper edges.


This newer BRZ STI Concept is in fact based on the actual production car, so fingers crossed, we will be seeing these parts on the options list soon.


Optional parts like this delicious carbon fiber bonnet.


And even a Carbon Fiber roof, no harm bringing that already super low center of gravity even lower right?

Here's the bum shot.


Yes, Subaru is bringing their BRZ to the racetracks.

This is what being Proud of Boxer is all about. The engine.

A couple of steps away, there was this sexy little black nympho. The "Black Edition" from Prova.




Sporting many orange accents on the metallic black base, some liked the color scheme, so didn't. I loved it. What do you expect? This is the Auto Salon!


They even painted the insides of the wheels orange.


Prova details around the car.



And a little wing to top it all off.

If you ventured off outside the show halls, you will be able to find a rather stock looking BRZ. This BRZ car will belong to one of the show-goers, yes folks, this BRZ was one of the prizes given away during the Auto Salon. Those lucky Japanese folks have it all don't they?

The marketing folk at Subaru are shifting into high gear with the BRZ now featured in Meisa Kuroki's latest MV, Breeze Out. (BRZ... Brz... Breeze... geddit?)

Subaru BRZ trailer

Amidst all the hype surrounding Toyota's 86, Subaru has also launched their version of the Toyobaru and here in all it's online video glory, we have a beautiful CM of the BRZ. Makes me think of all the classic JDM sports car adverts from the past.

And here below is the first ever video test, although i don't understand any of it. He probably said it'6s badass and awesome.

Subaru BRZ from L.A. Autoshow

With Toyota's FT86 stealing all the attention with so many teasers and concepts, Subaru has now joined in the Concept party with their stunning BRZ.

With a big rear wing, larger wheels, larger brakes and sporting a brand new blue hue. The BRZ is shaping up to be probably Subaru's best looking car in a very very long time.

Subaru drops in with the BRZ Concept 2011 (Finally!)

After sitting in the shadow's of the Toyota FT86, Subaru has finally unwrapped the (virtual) covers off it's version of the FT sportscar, the BRZ. Has a much better rear light treatment over the Toyota i might add. For more pictures and information, head over to FT86club.com »
