Subaru
is a Japanese car maker known for its high quality sports cars. Toyota is
another giant of a car maker loved by car enthusiasts for its highly efficient
cars around the world. The two car makers came together to work on a concept
car that is finally ready for launch. While the heart of the car, its engine,
is being credited to Subaru, it makes use of Toyota technology in many aspects.
The car is being labeled differently for different markets. While Subaru BRZ is
the name where it is being sold under the brand of Subaru, the car is called
Toyota 86 where sold by Toyota. Toyota 86 is a base model of the same car that
is being sold as a higher end model by the name of Subaru BRZ. While the price of Toyota 86 is alluring as
it is kept at $29,995, Subaru BRZ price
is believed to be higher, though it is pure speculation as of now.
Before one tries to talk about Subaru BRZ price, it is pertinent to let readers know that this offering from Subaru is perhaps one of the lightest sports cars ever, standing at 2762 pounds. It is lighter than Ford Mustang and also lighter than Porsche Cayman. Being lighter, Subaru BRZ is more fuel efficient and zippy in drive. It is also the first rear wheel drive from Subaru as all its pervious cars have been all wheel drive. Handling the car is easier and no other sports car in its category is likely to be any cheaper than this latest offering from Subaru and Toyota.
While the engine and the platform of the two cars is same, Subaru BRZ (so called because of its name being Boxer Rear drive Zenith) has additional features making it a high end model.
