2020 Subaru BRZ

Finished in understated Magnetite Gray Metallic over a Black Alcantara® and leather interior with red stitching, this 2020 Subaru BRZ Limited has only 31,673 miles and captures everything enthusiasts love about a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe: a low center of gravity, naturally balanced chassis, 6-speed manual transmission, mechanical limited-slip differential, independent suspension, and an intimate cockpit designed around the driver. But this particular BRZ takes that formula significantly further. In addition to its desirable factory STI Short-Throw Shifter, it has been upgraded with an aftermarket Rotax supercharger, adding forced-induction character to a platform already celebrated for precision and balance. Because the uploaded build sheet doesn't document the supercharger or a dyno result, we're not going to invent a horsepower numberbut the significance of the modification is clear: this is not a stock BRZ. It's the kind of car built for someone who doesn't simply want to arrive. They want to remember how they got there. Aftermarket Rotax Supercharger The defining modification on this BRZ is its aftermarket Rotax supercharger. The factory BRZ formula is built around response, balance, and momentum. Adding forced induction changes the personality dramatically by giving the engine additional airflow and the potential for substantially stronger acceleration than a factory naturally aspirated example. The important distinction is how that power is delivered. A supercharger is mechanically driven rather than waiting for exhaust energy to spool a turbocharger, which can create a more immediate relationship between throttle input and added boost. That makes it especially appealing in a car like this. Throttle. Boost. Clutch. Shift. Repeat. We are intentionally not advertising a specific horsepower figure because the supplied documentation does not include the supercharger model specifications, supporting modifications, tune information, or a dyno sheet. But from an enthusiast perspective, the modification transforms the conversation around this BRZ. It preserves the lightweight, rear-wheel-drive chassisand adds the kind of power many owners always wished the platform had from the factory. 6-Speed Manual Transmission There is no automatic gearbox between the driver and the experience here. This BRZ was factory equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. And in this particular car, that's especially important. A forced-induction BRZ with a manual transmission gives the driver direct control over: Gear Selection Engine Speed Clutch Engagement Throttle Application When the engine enters the strongest part of its power delivery Instead of simply pushing the accelerator and allowing electronics to make every decision, you're part of the process. Every downshift matters. Every corner exit becomes an opportunity. Every perfectly timed gear change feels earned. Three pedals are becoming rare. In a supercharged rear-wheel-drive sports coupe, they're something worth celebrating. $501 Factory STI Short-Throw Shifter This car wasn't completely standard even when it originally left the showroom. Subaru equipped it with the factory STI Short-Throw Shifter, a $501 option. That's exactly the kind of factory upgrade you want in a manual BRZ. The shifter is the component you interact with constantly during spirited driving, and the STI upgrade was designed to give the gear-change experience a tighter, more purposeful feel. Combined with the aftermarket supercharger, this becomes one of the most important parts of the car's personality. More power means more reasons to shift. And this BRZ was already configured with the shifter enthusiasts wanted. Rear-Wheel Drive The BRZ's identity begins underneath the car. Rear-wheel drive. The front wheels concentrate on steering while the rear wheels deliver the engine's power to the pavement. It's the classic sports-car arrangementand one of the reasons the BRZ has always felt fun
