2017 Subaru BRZ Limited

The 2017 Subaru BRZ Limited Coupe 2D stands as a pure, uncompromising purist's masterpiece in the modern sports car arena. For the 2017 model year, Subaru engineers heavily refreshed this lightweight, rear-wheel-drive platform, introducing critical engine refinements, revised suspension tuning, and a sharper visual signature. Engineered from the ground up with an ultra-low center of gravity that rivals exotic supercars, this two-door fastback cuts through air with a sleek, wind-tunnel-carved unibody footprint. It functions beautifully as an head-turning, agile daily commuter during the corporate workweek and a track-ready weekend apex-carver, making it the definitive choice for driving enthusiasts who demand surgical handling precision and pure mechanical feedback.
Performance and Boxer Powertrain DynamicsUnder the low-slung, aluminum hood sits an absolute cornerstone of balanced Japanese engineering: a revised 2.0-liter 4-cylinder naturally aspirated SUBARU BOXER® engine featuring Toyota’s D-4S dual direct and port fuel injection system. For the 2017 model year, versions equipped with the crisp, short-throw 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission received a high-flow aluminum intake manifold and a redesigned exhaust header, boosting output to a punchy 205 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 156 lb-ft of torque available at 6,400 RPM (models equipped with the 6-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission maintain a highly reliable 200 hp / 151 lb-ft setup). Manual variants also benefit from a revised, shorter 4.30:1 final drive gear ratio that delivers a highly linear wave of daily commuter acceleration and immediate throttle response, while a standard Torsen® limited-slip rear differential handles corner-exit traction with absolute mechanical authority.
Surgical Chassis and Exterior StylingThe driving experience is completely characterized by telepathic road communication, flat cornering posture, and lightweight structural agility. Built on a performance-tuned chassis featuring independent front MacPherson struts and an independent double-wishbone rear suspension network, the BRZ features stiffer front springs and revised dampers for 2017 to eliminate body roll entirely. On the exterior, the Limited trim executes a stunning styling triumph of pure aerodynamic functionality and low-slung proportions, highlighted by:
An imposing front fascia anchored by a wider, low-profile black mesh grille layout, aggressive bumper canards, and automatic premium LED headlights accompanied by signature LED daytime running accents.
Elegant, wind-tunnel-carved sport silhouettes highlighted by matching body-color fender vents, a sleek deep-tinted acoustic laminated glass windshield, and aerodynamic power-adjustable heated side mirrors.
Striking, high-contrast 17-inch 15-spoke black and machined finish aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance sports tires that accentuate its athletic wide-track stance.
A aggressive rear profile equipped with a factory-installed body-color aluminum pedestal rear roofline spoiler, high-visibility LED taillights, a rear diffuser block, and dual polished chrome performance exhaust tips.
Tech-Forward Driver-Centric SanctuaryInside, the deeply bolstered cockpit completely shuns high-maintenance, bulky commuter layouts, welcoming occupants into an ultra-durable, low-slung sport sanctuary lined with premium technical textures and intuitive command tech. First-class interior appointments include performance front bucket sport seats draped in premium, heated Alcantara® and genuine leather upholstery featuring sharp red contrast stitching and embroidered BRZ logos.
