2021 Subaru BRZ

2021 to 2030 · Coupe

The second-generation BRZ represents Subaru's commitment to the pure sports car formula, delivering what the original promised but with meaningful improvements. The naturally aspirated 2.4-liter flat-four now produces 228 horsepower—a 23hp bump that transforms the driving experience. More importantly, the torque curve is fuller, addressing the infamous 'torque dip' that plagued early cars. The chassis receives revised suspension geometry and a stiffer structure, while the interior gains a proper infotainment system and improved materials. Built alongside the mechanically identical Toyota GR86 at Subaru's Gunma plant, these cars represent the last of a dying breed: affordable, rear-wheel-drive sports cars focused purely on driver engagement over straight-line speed. With manual transmissions still standard and a curb weight under 2,900 pounds, the modern BRZ captures the essence of classic sports cars while offering contemporary reliability and refinement.
