Subaru BRZ UK specification revealed: Subaru BRZ UK specification revealed

Three different models coming to the UK, ranging from stripped-out to generously equipped

Subaru BRZ UK specification revealed

Subaru has revealed the UK specification for its forthcoming and highly anticipated BRZ coupe.

The top-spec BRZ will feature 17-inch alloys, LED daytime running lights, dual-zone climate control, MP3 connectivity and front, side, curtain and knee airbags. Subaru has also announced that a lower-spec model will be available later this year, as well as a stripped-out version designed as a 'blank slate' model for tuners to put their mark on.

All cars will feature Subaru's 197bhp naturally aspirated 2-litre boxer engine, which will also appear in the BRZ's sister car, the Toyota GT 86. Both cars will be front-engined with a 2+2 seating layout and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential, with owners able to spec either a six-speed manual or a paddle-operated automatic gearbox.

Subaru has stated that a chief concern with the BRZ was to make its centre of gravity as low as possible, and as a result, half of the car's 1100kg mass has been placed below knee-level to improve handling.

Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but it has been rumoured that the top-spec BRZ may command as much as a £5000 premium over its £24,995 Toyota sibling when it goes on sale in the spring.

Did the 992 GT3 RS need to be made more extreme? Posssibly not. We're glad Manthey Racing has done it, though.
