The Subaru BRZ (and Toyota GT86) aren"t like other cars. Other cars use modern turbocharged engines, and prioritise a seamless smartphone link-up over how likely the rear tyres are to relinquish grip to allow hilarious slides. Other cars also get replaced after half a dozen years on sale. Not the BRZ, though, which has just had a round of updates that if you blink, you really will miss. So nope, still no turbo, and no more power at all. You still get a 2.0-litre flat-flour engine with around 200bhp, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox you want, or a six-speed automatic gearbox you don"t.
