Title: Subaru releases the BRZ STI after Toyota's GT86
Post by: Parker on December 04, 2011, 03:34:46 PM

For those of you who don't know, Toyota and Subaru are collaborating on a shared platform vehicle, using Subaru's flat 4 boxer engine. This "Toyobaru" is unique to both manufacturers---Toyota has a 150-180 hp NA engine, with curb weight around 2,800 pounds, and thet are looking into a supercharged version. Subaru's version is in the 200+ hp range, both are RWD.
