Why is the new BRZ from the United States?
text: Kenji Momota
Subaru released the new US version of “BRZ” online for the first time online at 11:00 PM on November 18, 2020 Japan time.
The body dimensions are 167.9 inches (4265 mm) long x 69.9 inches (1775 mm) wide x 51.6 inches (1311 mm) high, and the wheelbase is 101.4 inches ( 2576 mm).
Compared to the first model, it is lower and wider, which is a normal evolution as a sports car.
The engine is, of course, a horizontally opposed 4 cylinder. The exhaust volume has been increased from the original 2.0L to 2.4L. The Toyota D-4S, which is an in-cylinder port fuel injection device, was adopted. The maximum power is 228 CV and the maximum torque is 18.8 kg-m.
The transmission is 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT, and the transmission system is FR.
Although it is a platform (body) that worries, Subaru uses the expression “incorporating the knowledge acquired from the development of the Subaru Global Platform …”.
The interpretation is that instead of adopting the Subaru Global Platform, which has been revamped since Print and continues with XV, Forester and Revogue, the inner frame structure that was also adopted in Revogue based on the first generation was adopted and greatly improved. .
Compared to the original model, the front side bending stiffness has been improved by approximately 60% and the torsional stiffness has been improved by approximately 50%, further refining operation.
By the way, why is the new BRZ being advertised with top priority in America?
American market, 2-door coupe power
The reason BRZ originated in the United States is the same as the previously announced Nissan Fairlady Z concept.
This is because the world’s largest market for 2-door sports cars is the United States.
Even in the United States, BRZ and its brother Toyota 86 are not the main segment of the market for 2-door coupes.
As of November 2020, the protagonists of the market for two-door coupes are the so-called muscle cars. Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, the three muscle families, have established a solid position and solid numbers are consistently selling out.
Also, there is a Chevrolet Corvette, which is different from the muscle car, but the new model has become a rear-middle of a super car and no longer belongs to the 2-door coupe category.
Also, when it comes to 2-door coupes, the world of high-end Mercedes-Benz and BMW models, as well as premium Bentley and Ferraris, is the same in Japan.
Also, among Japanese manufacturers, Toyota Supra. Of course, the Mazda MX-5 (Roadster) is a small 2-door coupe.
Therefore, a bird’s-eye view of the US market reveals how BRZ (and 86) is independent.
