That ad was well homo. Where's the drifting? Isn't that how they drive in Japan?

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Reckon their implying in that ad that the BRZ is gonna be an instant classic? With references to the 360 and RS.

Hi,

I think they are trying to remind those people who are saying "VATZ NOR A BLOODY SUUUUUBREWW" that they have indeed made large leaps in company direction in the past - and it's worked.

Cheers,
Nik

In the Feburary 2012 EVO magazine, there are 9 pages on the BRZ and 86, I won't scan, however will share some info on the STI BRZ which may be interesting.
- STI version to appear in early 2012.
- Focused on 'pure handling', with no extra power proposed for the first-gen version.
- Aluminium bonnet and carbonfibre roof panel, other weight saving and possible rear seat deletion will make it about 100kg lighter than the regular BRZ.
- Revised suspension links will widen the track by around 40mm front and rear with wider tyres and upgraded brakes.
- The BRZ has been designed for the fitment of a discreet low-profile roll-cage, this is likely to be an STI option.

TRD are working on a supercharger kit as an aftermarket conversion for the GT-86, would boost power from 197bhp to at least 250bhp and adding low-down torque.

"Roadster versions of both cars are likely to follow, although Subaru's Toshio Masuda cautions that the amount of high-strength steel that's used in the upper structure of the coupe means that removing the roof would require more reinforcement than 'decapitating' an ordinary car."
