The FA20 is still flawed by the weak connecting rods. That's why the current gen STi is still using the EJ25. I hope the next gen Wrx still uses a improved FA20. But looking at the new levorg, im not looking forward to the next WRX/Sti. I heard JDM WRX STI will use Levorg 1.8t. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic November 18, 2020 Author Share November 18, 2020 2022 Subaru BRZ revealed with 228 horsepower Subaru says it kept the coupe's weight under 2,900 pounds (1,315kg) https://www.autoblog.com/2020/11/18/2022-subaru-brz-revealed/ Quote Subaru revealed the 2022 BRZ early Wednesday morning with a 228-horsepower, naturally aspirated boxer engine and a curb weight under 2,900 pounds, even with its optional automatic transmission. On paper, the 2022 BRZ appears to carry on in the spirit of its predecessor. While it does get an additional 23 hp and 28 pound-feet of torque thanks to its new 2.4-liter horizontally opposed engine, just about everything else on the 2022 BRZ's spec sheet appears to pick up right where the 2020 model left off. The 2022 model grew less than an inch to 167.9" and its wheelbase stretches only 0.2 inches to 101.4". The six-speed manual is still the standard transmission, and it's paired with a limited-slip rear differential; a six-speed automatic with wheel-mounted paddles and auto rev-matching remains available as an option. Subaru even managed to keep the BRZ's curb weight from doing anything silly. The 2020 model was listed at 2,798 pounds with the manual transmission; that climbs to just 2,815 for 2022. This effectively means you're getting more horsepower and more torque without any appreciable weight penalty, and Subaru didn't even have to resort to a more complex turbocharged engine in order to do it. "Using design elements from the Subaru Global Platform, the chassis has gained rigidity through a reinforced chassis mounting system, sub-frame architecture and other connection points," Subaru said in its announcement. "Front lateral bending rigidity has been increased by 60 percent for the 2022 model to improve turn-in and response." The 2022 BRZ's suspension configuration carries over as well (struts in front; double-wishbone in the rear) though Subaru says the chassis received comprehensive revisions. Standard wheels on the Premium model remain 17-inchers, while the Limited ups you to 18s. The tire specs remain the same as well, checking in at 215/45 R17 for the Premium and 215/40 R18 for the Limited. Subaru didn't elaborate on the tire choices in its press release, but the model shown in photos is wearing a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4s in the 18-inch spec mentioned here, so we expect those will be standard on the Limited. Subaru did not specifically mention an available performance package for the 2022 BRZ in its launch materials, but if the outgoing model is anything to go on (and it certainly appears to be), we expect it will be offered with the same tire size and compound that comes standard on the Limited. The exterior design of the 2022 BRZ isn't too wild of a departure from that of the 2020, either, which makes sense considering that the underlying platform and proportions evolved to fit within the same dimensions. The 2022 model's roof even sits less than half an inch lower than the 2020's. What we get as a result is a fresh take on the existing formula. We see a little 718 in there, especially in the front 3/4 view, and some distant family resemblance to the Lexus RC coupe from the rear. Its cabin appears as though it will retain the fairly barebones styling and appointments of the outgoing BRZ's, which suits us just fine too. We're still not sure when to expect to hear details of the forthcoming Toyota 86 that will share this updated architecture, but we shouldn't have to wait too long. We're eager to see how it will stack up against the rest of Toyota's new sports car hierarchy. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonhat_91 6th Gear November 18, 2020 Share November 18, 2020 Maybe I'm the type of person who is resistant to change.. but I still prefer the 1G design. Maybe this will grow on me over time. The tail lights look a bit like current gen NSX though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratovarius Turbocharged November 19, 2020 Share November 19, 2020 Front like old f type. Rear like new nsx. It kinda looks both nicer and uglier than the outgoing model but I can't pinpoint where. Maybe is the stance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic November 19, 2020 Share November 19, 2020 Looks wise it's not bad. Lines are more masculine than the previous model. But the weight is no Lotus Elise kinda weight. Yay, still NA. Haha...I think it's to keep the front and rear weight distribution balance. If you want TC there's always the Supra. Still easier on the tax than the older Nissan Z Coupe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
