FT-86 to be named FR-S...

Everyone bangs on about the dip being some massive issue. Sure if you drive around car parks all day.

On the track or through the hills, its completely irrelevant and unnoticeable IMO.

Agreed. On e85 you have as much torque in the "dip" as you do at peak.
You could easily tune out some low down power so there was no dip at all. I honestly think that would make some people happier.

This looks alright too.

pikes peak car?

[blue_s15]

It was built for some jap dirt trial championship i think but would be cool too see it to pikes

And that concept is like all the other 86BRZ one offs, fucking pointless but gets all the kids circle jerking over a potential turbo model.

Blue thing has no engine bay shots. Wonder why.

The black thing is competing in Race To The Sky in New Zealand apparently.

Give zero fucks for the blue one.

Blue one looks hot. Very V8 Vantage though.

Fucking so sick of concept cars though. We get it, you can make a car people want. You know what's better than that? Selling it.

But Subaru already has an FA20T ready to go from the WRX,

Slot that in, use the STI 6 speed box, R180 diff, 114.3 hubs, brembos are you're done. Pretty much all in inventory ready to go.

Sell at or below current STI $49K+ORC price and it will fly out the door!!

Subaru, fucking dumb cunts!

I saw this on TV last year, since I didn't go to the Malaysian F1 this event on my 2015 Motorsports radar to go to

Different engine(the FA20 part is the only similiarity), completely different gearbox, different way of mounting the engine, the diff that's in it is already bigger than an R180.

[MZ21]

so wrx fa20 isnt the same fa20 (turbo plumbing aside) as the brz?

[coyote]

Nope

Could mount points & dimensions be different enough to have a large negative effect on the cost of mass-producing a BRZ with a WRX engine?

[JZK25]

One case half is probably the same. The heads are completely different, the direct injection system is completely different, the way the engine mounts to the car is different.

If they wanted to make a turbo BRZ they would just design it to fit the car. Subarus are not the parts bin specials they were in the past.
