Now maybe not. But rest assured TRD will offer a supercharger, as it is more simple to make than a turbocharger. TRD does makes superchargers and turbocharger for Lexus IS350, Toyota MartX and many other JDM models.

I'd like to see the same work done on the GT86 by TRD as the one done on the Celica GT-Four TRD. I really don't like the TRD line for the 86, it is more cosmetic than funtional.

Looking at the supercharged boxer engine from the RUF Cayman we can have a clear idea how the Toyobaru's boxer engine will look like with a S/C, mainly its location between a 'splited intake manifold'. It's easy

Looks awesome.
Kinda like the offspring if a Hyundai Genesis coupe and a Lotus Elise did some freaky shit one night without a rubber

Once again this should pretty much put the turbo rumors to bed. Here we have a no-expense-spared STi concept. CF roof, CF hood, things that won't even make the production model. And..... no turbo.

![]() The base car isn't even out yet, I don't blame them for not showing the hot version yet. But believe me, they will. Automobile listed a 7.0 0-60 run, that's just a barrel of weak sauce, even if it does handle great. Subie will 100% turbo charge the BRZ before 2015. |

Not surprising all the negative comments about low torque. Even on Bimmerpost so many think the M3 E9X has low torque. Funny, when the most tracked car is the Miata which has even less torque is faster than Porsches and Ferraris on track days..

Most likely due to the driver of the Miata. Miata is good and even better with a track suspension, but with driver being equal, it's not porsche or ferrari destroyer...

I'm a previous Miata owner, and love extracting the most from them on the track. They're great city cars too, but pretty dull and tiring on the highway. I think that if Mazda hits their target goal of 2200 pounds for the ND that it will be most of what the Toyobaru thinks it is, as it stands, I'm not overly impressed.
It's more car than the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, at least until the new engines, but I don't see it as a hugely better car than an NC Miata, a car that's really, really long in the tooth. I do think that the addition of a turbo to the BRZ in a few years will make it a much more appealing daily driver, even if it does compromise it's track balance slightly. |

Very excited to see more on the car...Nice lines and great performance at a reasonable price point. Aftermarket will make them crazy fast...and/or factory special models...STi, etc.
