To many of us, the Toyota GT 86 Coupe is one of the most highly anticipated cars, this year at least. The sweet-looking coupe gave the AE 86 a new lease of life and should be in the bucket list of many around the world.
As you would have known, Subaru is also producing its version of the GT 86, called the BRZ which made its first public appearance at the Tokyo Motor Show. Just like the Toyota version, it is motivated by a four-cylinder 2.0 liter engine with 197 hp and 205 Nm of torque. There are subtle differences here and there, including different front bumpers.
At the same time, Subaru also revealed the Super GT Subaru BRZ race car which will compete in the GT300 class of the 2012 Super GT Series :) So which version you prefer? Toyota’s or Subaru’s?
