Seen a BRZ today

[300bhp/ton]

At the RallyDay.co.uk even at Castle Combe.

First impressions:

-It looked way better in real life than in pictures

-It look a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. I know they've had to get a boot and 2 rows of seats in there, but I thought it would look more compact

The interior I thought looked rather good too. Certainly a place I'd happily sit hour on hour.


Not driven one yet. But having now seen one I feel I'd be doing the designers a dis-justice if I didn't go and try one out






The RallyDay event was pretty cool too, lots and lots of lovely motors. And many being driven in a very fitting fashion highly recommend the event for next year.

What is that buggy monster truck thing?

And SAW.

Some kind of Challenge truck, very purpose built and monster. They had a rally raid section as well as cars and some rather nifty looking challenge trucks about too.

Love the 6R4 and the Escort (looks too clean) with the classic Cibie lights.

I have to say, the silver paint does the BRZ no favours at all. If anything, it makes it look even blander.

I have an inexplicable love for 80's coupe's with pop-up's. Starion and Supra are two of my favs!

Strange visual effect with how the wheels look in the arches of these cars (BRZ) when you see them at an angle. Wheel either looks shunted forward in the arch or backwards, needs less arch for that size of wheel.

The 6R4 looks tasty

Absolutley agree with you, I saw a GT86 in the flesh at Le Mans Classic, much better in the metal than photgraphs/video would indicate, interior looked sharp whilst the special Orange the GT86 comes in really brought the shape alive.

I agree it looked much better then the pics, but i thought it looked way smaller then i was expecting, closer to an mx-5 then a 370z!

This one is a Bowler Wildcat, right? Suspect the green one might be a Tomcat.

is there much difference between the Subaru one and the Toyota?

Haven't seen a BRZ yet but there is a GT86 in my area, looks great!

Give it a few years and these will be ripe for aftermarket tuning.

I thought they would at least take the standard car they had both developed and taken a different route

eventually ending up with two cars similar but with their own manufacturer quirks

but all they seem to have done is stick a different badge on
