Subaru unveiled the production version of its highly anticipated BRZ sports coupe. Fully exploiting the best design features of the current-generation Boxer engine, the newly developed 2.0-litre powerplant is exclusive to the BRZ.

The Subaru BRZ transmission was engineered for exceptional gearshift feel and response. The six-speed manual features a short-stroke gear lever, which is optimised in rigidity, shift accuracy and weight.

The Subaru BRZ is scheduled to go on sale in the UK in July 2012.
