2022 Subaru BRZ teaser released; launch next year

KUALA LUMPUR: After years of speculations and spy shots hinting at the arrival of the new Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86, the company has finally revealed its first official look. Published on Subaru’s Instagram account, the single image, shown above, is a close-up shot of the 10-spoke front wheel and a sizable fender vent of a blue camouflaged example. It also provides a glimpse of the car’s brakes and tyres.

Along with the teaser photo, Subaru announced that the world premiere of the sports car will take place this fall. This hints the arrival of the new BRZ on roads sometime next year as a 2022 model. Besides this, the attendees of the 2020 Subiefest World Record Attempt and Charity Drive event, took place in Costa Mesa, California, over the weekend also got a first look at the 2022 BRZ with blue camo.

2022 Subaru BRZ side

Originally debuted in 2012, the upcoming BRZ will mark the model’s second generation and will be based on the predecessor’s bones with some significant dynamic and styling modifications. 

Regarding the technical specifications, the market has some contradicting reports. Earlier it was speculated that the upcoming BRZ would be getting turbocharged engines, but now the latest reports suggest the dynamic pair will be there with a naturally aspirated mill. 

The car is allegedly getting the Subaru FA24 2.4-litre flat-four engine with 217 hp and 240 of torque, which means a significant rise as compared to the current 2.0-litre engine output of 205 hp and 211 Nm. For sending power to the wheels, it is likely to have a six-speed manual transmission carried over from the outgoing model or a new automatic one tailored for the sports car. 

The all-new Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 will also have Gazoo Racing prefixed to its name, that’s an in-house performance wing and the racing team of Toyota. Currently, two of the Toyota models hold the GR badge; Yaris and Supra.

The upcoming BRZ/86 twins will rival against some worthy sports coupes like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Hyundai Veloster, Ford Ecoboost Mustang, Toyota Supra 2.0L, Chevrolet Camaro 2.0L Turbo, Nissan’s 370Z, and the upcoming 400Z.
