Subaru BRZ concept unveiled

Subaru Automobile has today announced that the BRZ Concept will make its
world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto show (November 18-27, 2011).

The BRZ Concept is a pre-cursor to the eagerly awaited Subaru BRZ which
makes it full production debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in December.

Built around Subaru's core technologies, the BRZ will use a new 2.0 litre
Subaru Boxer engine developed specifically for the model and with the latest
direct injection technology to improve combustion and efficiency.

The Subaru engineered chassis is built with front engine and rear wheel
drive configuration, allowing the engine to sit low and rearward to ensure
lowest possible centre of gravity and to maximise the BRZ's handling
prowess.

The new compact coupe has been developed as part of an on-going joint
project with Toyota Motor Corporation. All cars will be built at Subaru's
Gunma plant in Japan when production starts in spring 2012.
