Subaru BRZ 2013 Pure Handling Delight

 
The product concept of Subaru BRZ is "Pure Handling Delight." The Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine has inherent qualities of low center of gravity, lightweight, and compactness. These attributes are maximized by placing this engine even lower and closer to the center of the chassis. These factors contributed to BRZ's low center of gravity -one of the lowest possible. The Subaru BRZ is a fun sports car that any driver can enjoy driving with peace of mind.

The Subaru BRZ has a low-mounted Boxer engine on a specially designed sub-frame that forms an "ultra-low center of gravity package". With this arrangement, BRZ achieved a low driving position typical of a sports car. Overall height of Subaru BRZ is 1,300 mm and it has a wide and low body of a stylish coupe at 1775mm. Yet, it allows for 2 2 seating and a trunk with ample space. Not only is the BRZ a sports car, but it can also be a suitable partner for long tours with its unexpected utility.

for Subaru BRZ, a newly developed engine made specifically for the BRZ is very efficient with superior output and environmental friendliness. He realized the nature of encouraging high-revving of the engine is naturally-aspirated sports - Have a square hole and stroke of 86 × 86 mm -. Due to the joint development with Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota direct injection and port injection technology 'D-4S. 'Founded on the power unit BRZ - to achieve. "Ultra-low center of gravity of the package ', the machine as a whole has been made more compact by means such as adopting a shorter intake manifold and oil pan shallow.


The joy of sports car driving was realized through a transmission that focuses on shift feel and response.- The 6-speed MT employs a short stroke shift lever. The lever was optimized in rigidity, shift quality and weight application in its pursuit of a superb shift feel.- The 6-speed AT has 'S mode' for better shifting response and 'M mode' for optional shifting. Also, wîth the paddle shift and downshifting blipping control, this model can respond faithfully to the driver's inputs.

Subaru aimed for a sports car design that instinctively conveys the car's fun-to-drive character. In addition, it was detailed to be instantly recognizable as a Subaru.

for Interior,Details were carefully designed to allow a new level of fun-to-drive experience in which the driver and vehicle become one.

The steering wheel was made smaller to achieve sports car maneuverability.

A tachometer with digitally displayed speedometer is placed in the center of the gauges so that the driver can instantly see information without diverting attention from the road.


The lightweight yet highly-rigid body was developed exclusively to maximize the advantages of the 'ultra-low center of gravity package'.- Low center of gravity and low driving position were achieved by the perimeter type body frame layout.- The body has a rigid and durable frame structure that also works in balance wîth the vehicle's light weight. The rigidity is optimized for high driveability and appropriate durability is maintained for collision safety.- High tensile steel was used in the body for weight reduction. Effective use of this material in the upper structure of BRZ contributed to its low center of gravity.- The front hood employs aluminum for lightness. The structure was fine-tuned for a low styling that also improves pedestrian protection performance.

Excellent maneuverability and stability of the' ultra-low center of gravity package' offer direct and sharp response to §teering and enhance the driver's connection to the car.- The front suspension employs struts for light weight and high rigidity while a double wishbone layout is adopted at the rear for better shock absorption.- To gain a low front hood from the 'ultra-low center of gravity package', the front strut mount was lowered while maintaining the stroke.- The tires are 215/45R17 (average value) combined wîth lightweight and highly rigid aluminum wheels.- All BRZ models are equipped wîth electronic stability control to provide both driving pleasure and safety.
