BRZ is in the 'brotherhood' with the Toyota GT 86


Singapore - Aura sports a blue Subaru BRZ already began to unfold, although we have not got a place to test the performance trajectory.

Upon arrival, it began to feel the body outside. Sport and elegant body is very easy to remember. His form is very similar to the picture that had been circulating in cyberspace.

To remember BRZ Boxer short for Zenith Rear Wheel Drive. BRZ is the 'brotherhood' with the Toyota GT 86. But both have their respective advantages. Before you delve deeper into the BRZ Subaru, well skinned it first Japanese car. Yuk.

In order to prove superiority BRZ Subaru, Subaru provides a method of testing. A. Slalom, 2. Circle, 3. Speed.

Each of these media are given the opportunity and the company of instructors from Subaru, such as ABS, traction control, paddle shift. We are invited to experience directly for 2-3 minutes per session.

Interior

Pleased to explore the outside, time to look at the cockpit. Log into the passenger cabin is not as difficult as other sports cars. Do not assume bergelimpang cabin features. Is standard, and its shape is also very minimal. Subaru seems to really rely on engine power to the affairs of this car.

Well, the embedded konsole single DIN audio CD player, air conditioning control, as well as seats, steering gear lever are wrapped in black leather. Deeper, more detiOto satisfied with paddle shift that pinned behind the wheel. In the center console features pinned to the activation of the traction control, VSC sport, and sport driving options or snow (snow).

"Subaru has been adjusted in all places, even though the snow," said Director of Tan Chong International Executive Limited Glenn Tan on the sidelines of the BRZ Subaru test drive in Singapore.

With the technology, the rider simply press the button behind the gear lever. That way the tire grip to adjust by itself.

Turning to the other chair. Well, the front seats electrically minimal. Driver and passenger to set back and forth by pulling the lever under the seat. No one wah for this business.

Apart from that, different from the comfort of the seats. Subaru managed to design it to be very hug back. Body does not move when the car was maneuvered to the left and right.

Exterior

As detikOto say, the shape is very similar in cyberspace. The design is tapered and flat bumper, head lamp is narrowed to the front grille and large air intake in order to more freely enter into the 2,000 cc Boxer engine direct-injection.

While the middle to the back of the shrink. The concept that serves as the force of gravity to push the car over to the mainland so much better when moving quickly. The concept is called ultra-low center of gravity.

This car uses only two doors, so when the rear passengers to go into the passenger cabin, must first move the front seat toward the front. Rear passenger space is quite narrow. Menyisahkan only a little space to the knee.

Meanwhile, more beautiful tail design with a stop lamp that is dominated by whites. While the embedded LED stop lamp that form spheres, and seinnya together next.

it's based from the rear, Subaru BRZ impressed width in the ass. But not eliminate the value of a sporty car. 2 muffler pinned on the left and right rear. Once the machine is turned on, was once rauman 2,000 cc Boxer engine which became cici typical Subaru.

One more noteworthy. A soundproof system is pretty good car. 2,000 cc engine a little buzzing sound into the passenger cabin. Having experienced the Subaru BRZ, detikOto feel if the car is very representative of the country racing car lovers. Moreover safety features 7 airbags, 4 seat belts, ABS, and traction control technology has been pinned to consumers.

2,000 cc engine

The first session of the slalom test light and acceleration Subaru BRZ. When the car berslalom steady tread of asphalt. Luckily the sun is very hot afternoon and launched a process of trial. After that we went into the next stage of the acceleration. There are 2 options to drive, D and M. For D, the engine a bit slow.

Intrigued by M, just slide the transmission lever to the right. Dibejek gas pedal was immediately discharged. Power was directly channeled to the rear wheels. Rear wheel was sprints, and the sound of squeaking. Grip of the tires to the asphalt is very good. When driving on the track, as if to push gas pedal and keep playing with the paddle shift.

Subaru automatic transmission BRZ claimed 0-100 km / h can be reached by 8.2 seconds, while the manual transmission BRZ just 7.6 seconds. Unfortunately there is no available place to prove it. Trajectories are relatively short.

Testing also continues to form the number 8. Well, this session is to prove the function traction control. Using the feature back legs can not do much and follow the direction of the front tires. Meanwhile, when the feature is deactivated, the car is moving wildly to form the number 8. Action of the gas pedal is pressed while doing countersteering detikOto sometimes do. The result, the car managed to tame.

Unfortunately not available tracks damaged. Trajectory is very smooth so it can not prove the McPherson strut suspension swing & coil spring (front) and double-wish-bone (back). But when maneuvering, Subaru body BRZ detikOto feel unstable and unsteady. Suspension to work optimally.
