Subaru BRZ STI Turbocharged Concept

Speed Lux just posted on article on the 2012 Australian International Motor Show, where Subaru showcased a new Project car aimed for racing purposes, equipped with a concept sports kit from Subaru Technica International - also known as STI. This concept is street legal, and would include rear-wheel drive, front and side under spoilers, rear under diffuser and a boot lip spoiler.

The best part is, this concept is the Subaru BRZ meeting the STI. It has the body of the BRZ, and the performance of the STI. Coming with a flexible tower brace, coil spring suspension set, short shift gear lever, gear knob, instrument panel trim, push-button start, black wheel nut set, sports muffler and 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as a series of STI performance parts, suspension upgrades, accessories and spoilers, according to Speed Lux.

They also posted a quote from Managing Director of Subaru Australia Nick Senior, "All indications are that many BRZ buyers want to add some performance touches to their cars, and choosing genuine Subaru equipment offers great design, quality and peace-of-mind that aren't necessarily guaranteed by after-market suppliers."

Hopefully we'll have more updates soon on whether or not this concept will become a reality for the 2014 Subaru BRZ model. For now, we'll keep you in the loop as much as we are, and of course be sure to take a look at our current 2013 Subaru BRZ selection here.
