Subaru has finally announced the name for its pending rear-wheel drive sports car, known so far as the 0846, and the company’s version of the Toyota FT-86 project will be known as the BRZ. A BRZ Prologue technology concept will be showcased at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

The name is derived from the letter B in Boxer engine, R in rear-wheel drive, and Z in the word Zenith. Subaru says the name embodies ultimate passion for the new vehicle and confidence in its distinctive constellation trademark as well as its prize bull, the horizontally opposed Boxer engine. The BRZ is set to be built at the revamped Oizumi plant, alongside the Toyota variant. More on the car when Frankfurt comes.
