The front suspension employs struts for light-weight and high rigidity, while a double wishbone layout is adopted at the rear for better shock absorption. The low center of gravity offers direct and sharp response to steering and enhances driver's connection to the car. It has square bore and stroke of 86 x 86 mm. It realizes an exhilarating high revving nature of a naturally aspirated sports engine. Making full use of the design concept of the new-generation Boxer engine, the newly developed engine made exclusively for the BRZ is highly efficient with superior output and environmental friendliness. This low center of gravity produces astonishing handling character and combined with a light-weight chassis BRZ realizes Subaru's aim for Pure Handling Delight - the driving experience taken to a new level. The Subaru Boxer engine in the BRZ was positioned even lower than other Subaru models so that the BRZ has one of the lowest possible centers of gravity s on the market today. It was developed as a joint-project between Subaru and Toyota Motor Corporation, to bring to the world a sports car with superior steering response and driving pleasure that everyone can experience.
Subaru BRZ is a rear-wheel drive sports car featuring the Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine.
