Ooops! Subaru STi BRZ From Yesterday Not Quite What We Thought

No sooner had Subaru updated their STi website yesterday about the imminent release of a car wearing STi badges that the internet went berserk, with several major outlets claiming that an STi BRZ was imminent. The usual turbocharged rumours followed but I’m here with some facts from the source in order to clean the mess up…

The fact is, the STi website was updated yesterday with a few vague photos and this happened to coincide with the 86 festival at Fuji Speedway where Subaru unveiled their latest BRZ package. What a lot of people don’t realize or understand is that a “tS” branded Subaru and an “STi” branded Subaru are very different creatures.

I don't buy the possibility that Subie will badge the car as STi and tS. The pic in the photos does not look like it came from the factory that way. Guess we'll have to wait and see instead or reporting a new story with each bit of speculation.

both Toyota and Subi have backed away from turboing this powerplant for some reason.

Isn't it already turboed in the Forester XT? The next WRX is going to get the turboed version as well. So it's just the BRZ that's an unknown at the moment, not the powerplant per se.
