APOLLO EURO DELUXE
Subaru has opened its order books for the second generation of its BRZ sports coupe. The BRZ and its co-developed clone the Toyota 86 have been providing Aussie enthusiasts with their uni ue brand of affordable rear-wheel drive excitement since 2012 and 2011 respectively. This second-generation BRZ is again a joint development project with Toyota. Featuring an upgraded version of Subaru’s trademark horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, with capacity increased from 2.0 to 2.4 litres, Subaru says this model delivers between 18 and 20% more torque, depending on the transmission. The BRZ will feature a two-variant line-up when it arrives in December, comprising BRZ coupe and BRZ coupe S, both with the choice of six-speed manual or six-speed paddle-shi automatic and priced from $35,270 manufacturer’s recommended list price (MRLP).
