Subaru BRZ GT300 set to take on SuperGT
Less than five minutes after entering the new home of the Tokyo Motor Show, we're greeted with this: the Subaru BRZ GT300 race car.
Designed to compete in the GT300 class of Japan's SuperGT touring car series, the BRZ is set to replace the Legacy B4 that's competed in the series for the last two years. Being a GT300 contender, the BRZ's output will be limited to 300 horsepower and judging by the "Proud of Boxer" stickers flanking the front and rear, it's sure to be packing some manner of flat four, likely displacing around two liters. click more pics: autoblog.com/2011/11/29/subaru-brz-gt300 .

The BRZ is pretty much the only way to get me back in a Subaru. Hopefully it is everything it's hyped up to be. I've already had an S2000 CR which was a stellar performer in its own right.

YOUR CR WOULD BLOW THIS OUT OF THE WATER! I'm at work and can't really listen to the sound, but what are we talking here? 200hp in a car that weighs 2800lbs? lame...looks great and if they make a Sti version then we're in business.

Everybody gets a hard on for this car, but the US wont see anything substantial for prob 2+ yrs. We will get the "base impreza" version here in the states.
Yea their will prob be a "sti" version....................overseas. |

You mean low compression pistons and choice of turbo or supercharger and then done. Frankly it's almost impossible not to be able to toss in a compact supercharger setup.

Just realized those taillights really remind me of a BMW Z4, yuck. The rest of the car is tits!
And I agree forced induction would take the BRZ from to immediately! |

Proud of Boxer? Is this a lost in translation thing? Car looks really cool though.

i think brz gt300 means 300hp, since they are competing in the series that limits hp to 300 or less as stated in the OP. i don't know whether or not that means turbo yet. doesn't look like it, but look at that f1 style suspension...jizz.

well that is definitely a non-AVCS, EJ engine with a turbo I do like the dual injection though free power is always good.
Just adding to my suspicion that the FA/FB platforms aren't going to be boosted anytime soon...if ever. Can't wait to get my hands on one and dive into it. The FA20 does have Yamaha heads though and a square b/s ratio. Last edited by Homemade WRX; 12-05-2011 at 12:11 AM. |

Couple bits from the WRC cars on there , S12 intercooler (even still has the 2 temp sensor ports in it ) , The in manifold injectors and the secondary injector rails are WRC , coil packs , turbo actuator , lower mounted alternator , looks like a late spec manifold as well also looks like they have the extra tensioners as well (shiny bit behind the cam covers , and with those cam covers they use 2 timing belts. Even the oil fill cover is from the S11 and on. Wonder if they used the IHI turbo or the TR30R.
