The BRZ of a few enthusiasts’ dreams, the Subaru STI Performance Concept was revealed at the 2015 New York Auto Show.

Power for the performance division’s showcase comes from a 2-liter flat-four made for the Subaru BRZ Super GT race car, pumping out 350 horsepower to the back. Aggressive aero, braking, exhaust and chassis upgrades, and suspension enhancements complete the package.

As for whether or not the BRZ itself will get an STI variant, no word has been officially been given beyond a confirmation that more STI models overall will come into the USDM family.

    Nothing but vaporware, I bet. And the interior is still awful and tacky. Subaru has no interest in these things. Can I show you a Forester today?

    Oh Subaru, you have the best April Fools Day jokes. As if you would shut up most of your forum-critics by giving the BRZ a good dose of roids.

  • Kcflyer On the bright side I just saw a commercial where the army is advertising the fact that women are now part of tank crews. I'm sure the compromises necessary to put women in front line combat arms won't in any way weaken our armed forces ability to win wars in the future. But, hey, at least that new BYD SUV will cost more, thanks uncle Joe.
  • User This story fails to cite any regulation or trade journal to support the claim that a law suddenly prevented the sale of a product in a market.
  • 28-Cars-Later I have these archaic things called CDs.
  • Wjtinfwb If you've ever been a supplier to a Big 3 automaker, this is just another Thursday. Manufacturers use their clout to pressure suppliers to extract every nano-cent of profit possible and have that ability as they usually have a line of potential vendors waiting to take your place. It can be profitable business if you manage expenses very tightly and volume meets or exceeds expectations. But if it doesn't, like in a year with significant strike-caused production stoppages, profitability for the year is likely out the window.
  • Daniel J How's that working when these companies have to pay UAW workers more?
