The Frankfurt Motor Show 2011 - Subaru BRZ

Subaru BRZ coup� for Frankfurt   

  Subaru will give the clearest indication yet of the make-up of its all-new coup� � now officially named BRZ - at next month�s Frankfurt motor show with a new technology concept.

The Frankfurt concept, shown partially in a cryptic teaser video on Subaru�s official website, will be a development of the clear plastic-bodied concept at this year�s Geneva motor show that showcased Subaru�s involvement in the coup� it has co-developed with Toyota: the four-cylinder boxer engine, chassis and suspension package.

BRZ stands for �boxer engine, rear-wheel-drive, zenith�, with the latter word claimed to embody Subaru�s �ultimate passion� for the new baby sports coup�.

The clear plastic body of the Geneva concept gave an indication of the styling of the BRZ. Toyota also brought the latest version of the co-developed coupe, called FT-86, to Geneva which gave �the clearest indication yet of the final design for Toyota�s next sports car�.

The final production version of the car will be revealed at the Tokyo motor show in November, with sales to follow in 2012. Production will take place at Subaru�s Gumma plant in Japan.

Subaru will also launch a production version of its new XV crossover at the Frankfurt show.
