Subaru Confirms BRZ Turbo
This week’s announcement for a supercharged version of the recently launched Toyota GT 86 sports car was apparently just the beginning of the Toyota/Subaru tussle in the power stakes.
Now, Subaru has confirmed that the company is preparing a turbocharged version of the 2.0-litre flat-four engine used in the BRZ, in addition to the previously rumored STI version. The new turbocharged variant will be based on the FA20 engine and will be built at the company’s Oizumi engine plant, where the BRZ and all Toyota variants are being produced. It will be used in many of the future Subaru models, most likely including a hotter version of the BRZ, as well as the future WRX.
As of right now, there are no other details regarding turbo size or the engine’s final output, but previous rumors have suggested that Subaru was working on a 221 kW BRZ model. This may be the final output for its turbocharged version, unless we’re going to get some extra ponies in addition to that.
