Focusing on handling, low-weight and low center of gravity, the 2013 Subaru BRZ is scheduled to make its US debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 9th, reflecting the brand's core powertrain and chassis engineering throughout. The 2013 BRZ will arrive in Subaru dealerships in late spring, being designed to deliver an exceptional handling thanks to the developed chassis that ensures the lowest center of gravity by making use of an excellent packaging of the brand's Boxer engine design. The engineers created an all-new naturally aspirated 2.0-liter, 200 HP horizontally opposed and it could be placed lower and farther back in the chassis. Thus, pure sports car handling is achieved through an engine placement which allows for low polar moment. Either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission is available for the Subaru BRZ, while its weight is of only 2,700 lbs. Furthermore, the sleeky styled BRZ receives a lean and athletic stance due to the pronounced rear haunches, short overhangs, bulging front fenders, swept-back roofline and a height of just 50.6 inches. With the brand's renowned quality and safety, the Subaru BRZ will undoubtedly provide everyday comfort and practicality with expandable trunk space and 2+2 seating.

Subaru BRZ review:

2013 Subaru BRZ Sports Car to Make U.S. Debut at North American International Auto Show

BRZ announces the return of the pure sports car

Subaru of America Inc. announced that the production version of its all-new, rear-wheel drive 2013 Subaru BRZ sports car will make its United States debut at the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Hall in Detroit on January 9th. The BRZ will add a new product line to the hot Subaru brand, which announced its fourth consecutive year of sales growth and a new all-time vehicle sales record for 2011.

The 2013 BRZ, which arrives in Subaru dealerships in late spring, was designed with one goal in mind---exceptional handling. To reach that goal, Subaru engineers developed a chassis that would deliver the lowest center of gravity (CoG) possible utilizing the excellent packaging of the brand's Boxer engine design.

An all-new naturally aspirated 2.0-liter, 200-horsepower horizontally opposed (Boxer) engine was created. The new FA engine was developed to be more compact so that it could be placed lower and farther back in the chassis. To achieve the low CoG, a rear-drive layout was deemed necessary so the engine could be mounted as low as possible in the chassis. The engine placement allows for low polar moment and near-perfect balance for pure sports car handling.

With a low vehicle weight of just over 2,700 lbs., the direct injected 2.0-liter provides quick acceleration as it revs to its 7,400 RPM redline. The Subaru BRZ is available with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

With a height of just 50.6 inches, swept-back roofline, bulging front fenders, short overhangs and pronounced rear haunches give the sleekly styled BRZ a lean, athletic stance. The Subaru BRZ will offer everyday comfort and practicality with 2+2 seating and expandable trunk space, along with the brand's renowned safety and quality.

The 2013 Subaru BRZ reflects the brand's core powertrain and chassis engineering throughout.

Subaru produces a full line of all-wheel drive sedans, crossovers and SUV's, and adding the BRZ sports car to its portfolio showcases the brand's penchant for engineering vehicles that offer excellent road manners.
