Subaru Brz Limited Coupe 2-door on 2040-cars
Schenectady, New York, United States
You are looking at a 2013 Limited model with the addition of Forced Induction, or in my opinion, "how it should have come from the factory". The Subaru BRZ /Scion FRS Platform is one of the most capable sports car collaborations Japan has ever produced. With a near 50/50 weight distribution, a center of gravity right around 18 inches, and a curb weight of only 2800 lbs... the BRZ is right up there Porsche's coveted Cayman in terms of handling. The BRZ came powered by a 2.0 Liter FA flat-four which produced 200hp and 151 lbs/ft of torque in stock form. Car and Driver's initial review of the BRZ stated, "Although the BRZ doesn’t need more power, it certainly could handle more" and that's where the fun really begins. a BRZ with this kit is advertised by P&L to produce just over 400whp on e85 flex fuel. (The car also supports standard 93 octane, which is what is normally ran in this car's tank) I should mention this car is 100% stock aside from the P&L Turbo kit and supporting mods. P&L Motorsports is known world wide for their high quality after market forced induction kits. If you aren't familar, read about the company here: https://pandlmotorsports(dot)com/why-p-and-l/ No expense was spared, nor were any corners cut in regards to the modifications done. The car also comes with every single last stock part and could be returned to 100% stock fashion if you ever chose to do so in the future. The car looks, feels and drives like new... as it should for having only 9,000 original miles, it's just faster. Aside from a 2 minute drive to take the photos for this ad, the car has never seen winter. It has never been smoked in. The car has never been raced or tracked in any sense of the word.

Subaru updates EyeSight system with color-detecting cameras
Sun, 26 Jan 2014Subaru is giving its EyeSight driver assistance camera system a major upgrade for the 2015 model year with new color cameras, as well as reducing its size by 15 percent over the rather bulky original system.
Subaru locates its EyeSight hardware inside the vehicle at the top of the windshield, which is unlike most other camera-based systems that have their hardware mounted somewhere in the front fascia. The benefit is that these rather expensive components are protected from any detritus that may hit the car, but the original system's size ate up a chunk of the driver's outward view. Thus, the shrinkage should be appreciated by new owners.
The upgraded stereo cameras have a 40-percent longer and wider detection range than the original system's cameras, and their ability to see color allows the system to recognize brake lights at a speed differential of 30 miles per hour, instead of 19 mph before. And as before, EyeSight continues to offer adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and pre-collision breaking that can slow the car automatically if an imminent accident is detected, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
Subaru uses a mime and a toy car to explain why it loves the boxer engine
Wed, 17 Apr 2013I will freely admit to struggling with why Subaru continues to stubbornly employ a boxer engine design while so few other automakers do the same. After all, with twice the number of cylinder heads and cams as a traditional inline four-cylinder engine, a boxer four is more complex, more expensive to manufacture and more cumbersome to service with few tangible benefits. Until recently, the company's engines struggled to meet the fuel economy numbers of its competitors while offering no real boon in horsepower or torque. Subaru seems to recognize I'm not the only one scratching my head.
In order to help us non-believers understand what's what, the company has employed a pair of mimes, a toy car and a few clay engines to demonstrate the folly of every other automaker on the planet. Subaru says the boxer offers up a lower center of gravity than either an inline four-cylinder engine or a V6, which I will gladly concede. The company also says the design offers up smoother operation.
I'll offer just two counterpoints here. First, an engine with a low center of gravity is excellent, but when vehicles like the Forester, XV Crosstrek and Outback boast more ground clearance than most mainstream SUVs, that argument flies out the window. Second, anyone who's spent any amount of time behind the wheel of a vehicle equipped with an inline four and then proceeded to move into one propelled by a boxer can tell you the latter has all of the idling manners of a small tractor. Check out the video below to see for yourself.
Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?
Fri, 09 Nov 2012We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
