2013 Subaru BRZ Sports Car Debut

The all-new, rear-wheel drive Subaru BRZ sports car is arriving in Subaru Dealerships this spring. The Subaru BRZ was designed to deliver pinpoint handling precision and an unmatched driving experience for sports car enthusiasts of all skill levels. Subaru Engineers designed the BRZ keeping the fundamentals of the original sports car in mind, a low weight and ultra-low center of gravity with precision steering. It utilizes Subaru's 200 horsepower BOXER® engine design, seating for 4 and folding rear seats to expand cargo space. Expect to see the Subaru BRZ Sports Coupe on the lot at Tucson Subaru this summer, and be the first in Tucson, Arizona to own the new 2013 BRZ!

Subaru BRZ Specifications & Details

Using a large proportion of high-tensile steel, with aluminum for the hood, the 2013 Subaru BRZ weighs an estimated 2,762 pounds for the U.S production models, making it the lightest closed rear-wheel drive sports car in the U.S. market today. Comparing the BRZ to a few notable current sports cars, the BRZ weighs about 160 pounds less than the Porsche Cayman, about 300 pounds less than the Lotus Evora and is more than 500 pounds lighter than a Hyundai Genesis coupe.

The 2013 Subaru BRZ has one of the lowest centers of gravity of any production car in the world at just 18.1 inches from the ground. The all new-Subaru FA-Series 2.0-liter Boxer engine was designed to give the BRZ its "ultra-low center of gravity package." The BRZ has a rear-wheel drive configuration allows the 2.0-liter engine to be placed further down to also help to obtain its low center of gravity. The BRZ's engine has a 7,400-rpm redline, and a torque curve that peaks around 150 lb-ft. and offers a strong midrange that makes the BRZ feel responsive in daily driving.

Upon purchasing a new BRZ you have the option between a new six-speed manual transmission and an optional six-speed automatic transmission. The manual comes packed with a short-throw shift lever, and optimized pedals that allow "heel-and-toe" downshifting. The optional paddle-shift automatic transmission gives the driver a Sport mode option from the center console or the driver can move the center console shifter to "M" and shift manually using the shifter handle or the paddle shifters.
