Laid out symmetrically, the SUBARU BOXER engine puts the crankshaft perfectly in line with the driveshaft. The iconic front engine, rear-wheel drive configuration places the engine farther back and even lower.

The SUBARU BRZ was carefully designed for reduced air resistance and excellent driving stability. Many parts of the vehicle, including the integrated ducktail rear spoiler, wheel arches, and side sill spoilers create downforce at speed to reduce drag.

The SUBARU BRZ‘s near-perfect front/rear weight distribution provides amazing balance and traction control when accelerating, decelerating, and cornering, helping the driver keep balanced for a truly sporty driving experience.

The SUBARU BRZ‘s rear-wheel drive layout and horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER engine concentrates the vehicle‘s mass even lower at just 456 mm* above the ground. Overall weight and height have also been reduced for ultra-responsive handling that provides sports car driving pleasure for any driver.

Even with improved collision safety and a more rigid body, overall vehicle weight was reduced. In addition to the inner frame structure and using hot press material and high-tensile strength steel sheets, aluminium materials are used in parts like the front hood, roof panel, and fenders to keep the vehicle lightweight and agile.
