There was a GT86 at the Ring and Spa, and feck me could it carry speed, even on its eco-sh*te tyres. The marshals were encouraging the driver to do massive skids in it at the end of the day too.

Turbo'd one? I'd lap it  :happy2:

I dropped my car off at the local Lotus dealer yesterday, turned the corner and there was 7 or 8 of these parked up all over the place. They are growing on me the more I see, nice and simple inside which I like and nothing but praise as a drivers car in the reviews. Should be a great car for learning to drive fast in.  : :notworthy:

I didnt like the look of the gt86 either... but this look proper. And just think what a stage 1/2 map will do to it!  :driver:

That turbo Subaru looks absolutely cracking. If it makes it into production it would be hard to ignore it when I look to change my car after i graduate in just under 4 years time!

Some promising information: http://www.worldcarfans.com/112102349716/subaru-brz-turbo-under-development---report

Looks like Toyota's Scion division is having a play for SEMA:
