ROAD 30: Cult Car Cachet!
Some cars take decades to reach cult status, unrecognized in their time. Others are instant stars, even before their launch to the public. And this issue of ROAD Magazine features two cars that have sling-shotted straight into the cult car cachet – Toyota’s GT86 and Subaru’s BRZ.
Subaru announce 335bhp WRX STI 340R, while slashing £4,000 off its list price
With all the focus, quite rightly, on Subaru’s excellent new BRZ, the company has decided to give the Impreza WRX STI a bit of a boost. Quite literally, by offering a new 340R power upgrade.
Subaru confirms more BRZ awesomeness on its way
If you’re one of those people who believes Subaru’s BRZ (nee Toyota GT 86) needs more power, then fear not, it’s already in the pipeline – turbocharging, all-wheel drive and even bigger capacity engines are all on the product team’s to-do list.
Finally! Subaru announces pricing for the BRZ

Subaru confirms BRZ’s UK specification and new ‘track day’ version
There has been a tremendous amount of interest in Subaru’s new BRZ – sister car to Toyota’s GT 86 – but whilst Toyota announced the price and specification of it’s 2+2 coupe several months ago, we’re still waiting for the like-for-like comparison that will enable customers to decide whether they opt for a Subyota or Toybaru.
Toyota GT 86 will cost from £24,995 in the UK
Pricing of Toyota’s new rear-wheel drive GT 86 coupe will, in some ways, be the most important determinant of the car’s success. If it was priced too close to lifestyle sports coupes such as Audi’s TT or BMW’s Z4, then customers would naturally expect the same level of creature comforts – which would defeat the very purpose of Toyota’s light-weight sports car.
Spot the difference: Production Subaru BRZ joins Toyota GT 86 at Tokyo
The first pictures of Subaru’s BRZ leaked out last night, prior to its official launch at the Tokyo Motor Show. The BRZ, nicknamed Subieyota, is the company’s first rear-wheel drive car and was developed together with Toyota’s GT 86 (a.k.a. Toyobaru) which was unveiled at the weekend.
Toyota GT 86 aims to be the Best Drivers Car on the Planet
It’s a brave car maker who bucks the trend for more power, more performance and more.. everything when building a sports car, and when that car maker is Japanese there’s an even more tightly defined expectation for what constitutes a performance car.
