Subaru Tecnica International, better known as STI, has revealed on its Japanese website teaser images of what appears to be a Subaru BRZ STI. Apart from that it’s ‘Coming Soon’ and is about ‘Purity of Handling,’ little to no information is known about the car.
That doesn’t stop the speculation, though. The Subaru BRZ STI, if this teased vehicle is indeed that, could probably get more power (turbo?), suspension upgrades and additional dress-up bits adorning its coupe body. Oh, and will it be AWD?
However, the latest talk is that a hotter Toyota 86 is unlikely to happen due to cost concerns – will Subaru be able to go it alone here, without help from the maker of its twin sister? Lots of questions, and very few answers. Guess we’ll just have to let time tell.
The regular Subaru BRZ officially entered the Malaysian scene in June. It is offered here with a six-speed auto ‘box, but a six-speed manual is available through special order.

AWD? Really? Won’t that ruin the point of the car? I think more power will do it, the GT86/BRZ was AFAIK never meant to be a genuinely quick track day car, but it was meant to be as much fun as possible. Too much grip would hurt.
320hp 450nm rear wheel drive whats the problem? it will still be freaking fast in track. if u know how to handle rear wheel drives
Agree with above, all wheel drive will defeat the purpose of this car, there will be too much grip, this car is meant to have its tail spins out. And do you know how heavy is the BRZ? 320 ponies is overkill, 250 will be just nice.
Then it wouldn’t be called a STI. STI is known for go fast, not go fun.
400HP 500NM 2 litre boxer with RWD and a 6 speed manual, now everything make sense.
Highly doubt it’ll be a turbo. Most probably a highly tuned NA engine. I’m guessing around perhaps 240-250bhp.
Ain’t no proper STi without huge ass turbo from Subaru.
Impossible for a 2 L NA engine to achieve that kind of performance unless using a force induction tech.
frenzyaustin, may I ask what’s the capacity and bhp of a stock S2000? Nvm about any mod…
from what i hear, no turbo (at least not yet).
(Concept) BRZ STI???
