Subaru BRZ Cup Car costs 22.500 euro… in Japan

While Europe tightens the rules, causing many sports cars to disappear, one fun sports car after another continues to see the light of day in Japan. The latest in the line is the Subabu BRZ Cup Car. Just look.

A typical roll cage

If you’re looking for a Subaru BRZ in Japan, you can opt for the Cup Car Basic package at no extra cost. As a result, the compact sports car still only costs – well – 22,500 euros, but it has a lot of equipment to upgrade, making the BRZ largely track-ready.

For example, it comes standard on small 16-inch steel rims, because Subaru knows you’ll be using aftermarket rims and tires. A roll cage, additional oil cooler and curtain airbag deactivation ensure you can take the BRZ out of pit lane with more confidence.

Street rules

Under the hood the basic recipe is kept. A six-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels of the 2.4-liter engine. With 234 hp and 250 Nm of torque, this is a typical power source, but “fun” is definitely the basis of this BRZ.

By the way, don’t think that this version of the “Cup Car” is no longer street legal. You can go on public roads with this guy without any problem. Things like air conditioning, rear seats and the EyeSight security system remain on this BRZ. Although Subaru talks about “minimizing the car and noise comfort and getting in and out of trouble”. Never change, Subaru! Customers can’t just go to a local track day with this BRZ Cup Car, Subaru has created a racing championship with Toyota where this Cup Car competes with the GR 86 Cup Car. To provide an “entry-level” racing class “.
