First Look: 2013 Subaru BRZ

 

Make no mistake about it: the 2013 Subaru BRZ is one beautiful sport coupe. This new model comes to us from Subaru with plenty of help from Toyota, its automotive partner. The rear-wheel-drive BRZ features a BOXER engine and represents perhaps the most exciting affordable coupe we've seen since the Toyota Celica. Arriving this spring, the BRZ may forever change what you think about Subaru, one of the most successful small automakers in the world.

Subaru has outfitted it new 2+2 coupe with a 200-horsepower BOXER engine. That port-injected four cylinder engine is paired with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission or an optional adaptive 6-speed automatic transmission with sport model and paddle shifters. Either way, you get a car that is fun to drive, one offering a limited-slip differential and a sport-tuned suspension with double wishbone rear architecture. Riding on a 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, the BRZ also comes equipped with HID headlights.

Two Editions

The 2013 Subaru BRZ will be sold in Premium and Limited editions. The Premium edition offers cloth upholstery, an integrated 8-speaker audio system with GPS navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, high-definition radio and SiriusXM satellite radio with NavTraffic.
