Ha! Just after I said that the FR-S needs a turbocharger and now it looks like that may actually happen. I'm telling you, it will be a fantastic little car with a turbo on that boxer engine. As it is now, there's just not much torque and it makes the car feel weak. A turbo is just what the doctor ordered!

it will probably have the same engine it always had.bk7794 wrote:I Wonder what the new wrx will have. A 2.0? with the same engine?
with 280hp, the brz sti should be pulling in the mid 12's to very low 13's easily, assumung the weight is still gonna stay around 1200-1300kg
Re: In the clearing stands a boxer
I dunno about that. I mean, that's an extra 80 HP on a car that basically runs about 15 seconds flat. My guess is that the car should run low 14s, maybe even 14 flat with an extra 80 HP. Sure, it's a lightweight car (relatively speaking), but it would take a lot more than 80 HP for these cars to see 12s.fr4n wrote:

Re: In the clearing stands a boxer
forgot its not AWD
but with such a light car and power not too far off from an wrx sti, trap speeds should be similar.

Subaru took the wraps off an all-new WRX concept at the New York auto show on Thursday. The bold design with sharper character lines provides a glimpse of what the next-generation WRX will look like.
