Subaru Tecnica International (STI) have worked their magic on the BRZ for the first time to create the BRZ tS. Although the tweaked machine does not (yet) feature a turbocharged version of the flat four engine and will only be available in Japan, it nevertheless looks like a very capable car, especially considering how good the base model is. With the engine off limits, the STI engineers instead focused on the suspension, brakes and aerodynamics to make the Subaru BRZ tS handle even better. Production is limited to just 500 examples while a GT Package with additional goodies is available on just 250 of those.
Although it may look a little inconspicuous, the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R Concept may very well be among the most interesting cars due in Frankfurt in a fortnight. It boasts a hybrid system similar to that of the TS030 Le Mans racer complete with the supercapacitor storage system and more importantly also uses the all-new Global Race Engine (GRE). This four turbocharged four cylinder engine is built to the latest specifications and will be used in a variety cars, most likely including the TS030's all-new replacement. Another 'R Concept' on show in Germany will be this Peugeot 308 R. Powered by a 270 hp four cylinder engine, it could offer a first glimpse of a hot version of Peugeot's large hatchback. Also previewing an upcoming production model will be the Infiniti Q30 Concept of which the first image has been released this week.
One of the highlights of last week's Monterey Motorsports Reunion was the surprise debut of the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R. It is expected to make its competition debut early next year at the inaugural USCR event; the Daytona 24 Hours.
