BRZ Concept –STI Highlights Awesome Racing Features for Subaru Fans in Tallahassee
Proctor Subaru dealer in Tallahassee is enthusiastic and ready to catch a glimpse of the BRZ Concept – STI. This concept car boasts an aero-tuned lower front spoiler and distinctive rear fascia, a rear wing for added down-force, and a carbon-fiber roof, along with a record-breaking center of gravity specification.
The Concept – STI also features an STI-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes and stunning 18-inch wheels and tires. The chassis features a Subaru engineered and built frame supporting a two-plus-two interior, and front engine/rear-wheel drive. The engine is mounted low and rearward, affording the Concept-STI nearly perfect balance and extremely low center of gravity.
Aerodynamics performance is further improved with vented rear bumper corners, as well as rear fender flares and large rear-diffuser. The totally new Subaru "FA" Boxer engine was exclusively designed for the RWD BRZ sports car, and is a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine.
The Concept-STI’s low center of gravity and optimal weight distribution are features common on all Subaru’s, but the STI’s engine placement is far lower – 4.7 inches lower and positioned 9.4 inches closer to the center of the chassis.
Additional features of the BRZ Concept –STI truly make this car unique and one of a kind. The tire size specifications are as follows: 215/45R18 in the front, and 225/45R18 in the rear of the vehicle. Overall body size of the Concept – STI is 166.7 X 70.9 X 50.4 inches.
Ultimate handling and control is achieved in the Concept-STI through its lightweight body, low polar movement and sharp reflexes. The blade like hood design is possible because of the low engine placement. Short front and rear overhangs reduce the yaw moment of inertia, a feature shoppers at this Subaru dealer in Tallahassee will likely embrace.
