Ingenious Subaru engineering has made the BRZ the most fun on four wheels and yet accessible to many buyers. To make that happen, precise handling allows you to experience the smoothest turns, and unbeatable cornering. This is the moment the driver’s confidence in the machine lets SUBARU deliver on its promise of uncompromising quality. Lightweight body Performance suspension Achieving design simplicity is difficult but in this and numerous other areas, SUBARU has done it again. The BRZ’s high-tensile steel body reduces weight, adding rigidity to the chassis for meticulous handling. A lightweight aluminum hood also contributes to the BRZ’s low centre of gravity. Fully independent for maximum response, Macpherson front struts also aid rigidity, direct control and lower chassis engine placement. The rear end’s double-wishbone design also soaks up the bumps without sacrificing precise control. Responsive transmission Torsen1 LSD Get fully engaged with a short-stroke 6-speed manual transmission with superb shift feel. Paddle shifters and downshift blipping control in the 6-speed automatic transmission further enhance that fun, fun, fun sport experience.
