About the Subaru BRZ ZC6
Developed in collaboration with Toyota, the Subaru BRZ (ZC6) arrived as a refreshing antidote to the trend of increasingly heavy and complex performance cars. It features a bespoke naturally aspirated 2.0-litre boxer engine mounted low and far back to achieve a centre of gravity lower than a Porsche Cayman. While often critiqued for its modest power and mid-range torque dip, the chassis is widely praised for its balance, communicative steering, and accessibility. For collectors, the early 2013 models represent the purest expression of the 'Toyobaru' project, offering a raw driving experience that rewards momentum and driver input.
