Subaru BRZ STI Performance Concept isn’t turbocharged

The Subaru BRZ STI Performance Concept, which made its debut at the 2015 New York Auto Show, looks the part, but there’s no turbocharged boxer engine under the hood.


Apparently there’s a Super GT engine under the hood, but it’s a naturally aspirated EJ20 motor, not something rocking forced induction and shedloads of torque.

Instead, the blue-hued concept is meant to be an advertisement for all of the official STI parts available for the BRZ. Not that Subaru is going to great lengths to document all the mods applied to the car.

We can see, though, that the concept features a different front and rear apron, rear diffuser, large rear wing, new suspension, different alloy wheels, upgraded brakes, Aston Martin-style swing out door handles, and beefy side skirts.
