Subaru BRZ concept to premier at LA show

Subaru's BRZ Concept will make its world premier at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show which runs from 18-27 November.

The BRZ Concept is a pre-cursor to the Subaru BRZ which makes its full production debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in December.

The BRZ will use a new 2.0 Subaru Boxer engine developed specifically for the model and with the latest direct injection technology to improve combustion and efficiency.

The Subaru engineered chassis is built with front engine and rear wheel drive configuration, allowing the engine to sit low and rearward to ensure lowest possible centre of gravity and to maximize the BRZ's handling prowess.

The new compact coupe has been developed as part of an on-going joint project with Toyota Motor Corporation. All cars will be built at Subaru's Gunma plant in Japan when production starts in Spring 2012.
