The word is official and Subaru confirms that they will be unwrapping the BRZ sport coupe that’s ready for production during the auto show in Tokyo happening late this month. Finally we will see the much awaited rear wheel drive compact sport coupe developed in collaboration with Toyota. The carmaker though did not release any photographs of the vehicle in its full glory.

It is still a teaser pic for all Subaru fans but we got confirmation that the car will get a naturally aspirated 2.0L flat four engine that has direct injection heads from Toyota.

The gearbox will be an option between automatic and manual with six speeds. Subaru also promises a rear drive unique setup for the car’s chassis and impressive handling. The dimension of the Japan BRZ is pegged at 167 inches in length, 70 inches in width, and 51 inches in height. The wheelbase of the vehicle is 101 inches. The car is basically smaller than the new Subaru Impreza.

Even before the launch, Subaru has already announced the next version of the vehicle coming as the BRZ Concept STI which will be unveiled during the auto show in Los Angeles next week. It can be pretty confusing since the stock JDM will be appearing at the Tokyo auto show two weeks after the L.A. exhibit.

Subaru assures everyone that the STI concept will be different from the BRZ standard version in terms of looks and specs.

During the motor show in Tokyo, the space for Subaru will also be occupied by the S206 based on the Impreza WRX STI. This will be another limited edition released for the die hard fans of the sedan and will feature unique setup for the engine, suspension, brakes, chassis, wheels, and tires. Initial reports say it will have 320 horsepower but we will know the official numbers by November 24.

There will also be the Advanced Tourer Concept which is a downsized version of the Hybrid Tourer Concept that took the spotlights in the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show.
