Thread: Subaru BRZ Super GT Race Car Revealed

With photos of Subaru‘s new BRZ sports car already floating around the net, perhaps the real star of the Subaru booth at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show is the BRZ Super GT race car. Built to compete in Japan’s Super GT series, in which cars often have little to do with their production versions, the car will compete in the GT300 class replacing the current STI Legacy race car.

As the name suggests, the class horsepower rating sits right around the 300 mark, a 50 percent increase over the production BRZ 2.0-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine.

Thanks for posting, looks great on the track!

Chances are good that this runs a race-prepped EJ20. If I remember right, the JGTC GT300 MKIV Supras all ran race-prepped 3S-GTEs.

Here's the one Subaru released. The noise it makes.....

It didn't wow me in the pictures (it's a beautiful race car for sure, just wish it had a little bit more "Subaru" over it -- and I have no idea how the typical Subaru design could be implemented into a race car, might be too much asked) but now when I hear it in the video, I actually look forward to see more of it!

Ok, I've always thought the BRZ was a little overrated but this GT version is badass. Do want!

1:52 - 1:54 offers us a very fleeting glance of the motor. I see some kind of STI-stenciled radiator (looks a bit small to be an IC), but then again those could be charge pipes. Fingers crossed!

the front end looks a little like the LFA..same tail lights as the new scion fr-s also...hmm
