Subaru BRZ Japan Edition To Be Launched in March

Subaru BRZ is a fun sports car that any driver can experience driving pleasure, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout powered by the Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine. Its concept is “Pure Handling Delight - the driving experience taken to a new level”. By mounting the Boxer engine as low as possible, Subaru BRZ realized “ultra-low center of gravity packaging” that offers supreme handling performance.

The name “BRZ” stands for “Boxer engine” “Rear-wheel drive” “Zenith”; it also embodies Subaru’s passion for an ultimate sports car that features Subaru’s core technology: the Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine.

By mounting the Subaru Boxer engine as low as possible within the chassis and closer to its center, the boxer’s inherent advantages of low center of gravity, light weight, and compact size are maximized. Subaru BRZ achieved the honor of having one of the lowest possible centers of gravity in the world. It is a fun sports car that any driver can enjoy driving with peace of mind.

Subaru BRZ is also a product embodying Subaru’s brand direction.
Subaru BRZ was developed as a joint-project between Subaru and Toyota Motor Corporation. It materializes both makers’ ambitions to offer a wide range of customers a pure sports with superior steering response and driving pleasure.

The BRZ is slated to be produced at 450 units per month for this fiscal year.
