Subaru BRZ Development Detailed in Two Part Movie

Subaru BRZ sales have already skyrocketed in Japan, and in America we can expect the same result, but the sales beg the question: is the BRZ really that good?

Well Subaru thinks so, and to back up its new RWD sports car the company has released a two part mini-movie detailing all of the design and engineer work that was brought together during development. Everything from chassis design to engine placement and even steering wheel shape is explained in the movie, leaving nothing to the imagination.

Even more interesting is how the Subaru BRZ almost never happened, which would have been a shame considering the success that the vehicle has already achieved.

The BRZ looks to capture a simple tagline, ‘pure handling delight’ with its lightweight design and rigid chassis, and will sell at a base MSRP of $25,495.

Watch the video below to see how Subaru built the BRZ from the ground up.
