The 2011 Subaru BRZ Concept STI represents the next step in lightweight performance sports cars combined with the race-bred refinements of STI, a performance brand of Subaru.
The concept car employs the totally new Subaru "FA" BOXER™ engine exclusively designed for the RWD BRZ sports car.
The lightened Subaru BRZ Concept STI features an STI-tuned suspension, Brembo™ brakes and unequaled 18-inch wheels and tires. Compared with other Subaru models, which already feature a low center of gravity and optimal weight distribution, the engine in the Subaru BRZ STI Concept sits even lower. The first RWD Subaru, the production Subaru BRZ will begin production in spring 2012 as the only mass-produced front-engine, BOXER engine rear-wheel drive sports car in the world.
Combine that low engine mounting with a carbon fiber roof and the BRZ STI should have one of the lowest centers of gravity of any production car, according to Subaru.
The STI concept features performance tires, an STI-tuned suspension, and Brembo brakes. It also has an opaque body, which is painted “WR Blue Pearl II”, an evolution of Subaru’s signature blue paint for STI models. For more on the Subaru BRZ STI concept, check out our First Look here.
