The most anticipated new model of 2012 is actually two cars -- the Toyota FT-86 that will be sold in the United States as the Scion FR-S, and its mechanical twin, the Subaru BRZ. Toyota has flashed a near concept of the FT-86 for months, but today Subaru shared the first glimpse of what the BRZ will look like.This isn't the actual production version, but rather what Subaru has christened the BRZ STI -- a concept it will show off at the Los Angeles Auto Show this month, featuring bodywork that's been scooped, bumped and be-winged beyond than the everday model. Underneath the furious fascia lies the same powerplant due for the BRZ, a 2-liter boxer engine driving the rear wheels, and the rear wheels only -- a break with Subaru's all-wheel-drive tradition.
Based on specs leaked earlier this week, the BRZ is expected to offer about 200 hp, which doesn't sound like much in the modern era, but in a car that weighs just 2,500 lbs. and is about a foot shorter than the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. If the BRZ and the Toyota/Scion version meet their promise of rear-wheel-driven fun at a reasonable price -- along with the upcoming Ford Focus ST -- 2012 could bring a bumper crop of compact sports classics.
