Nearly a month ago, none of us knew what the 2013 Subaru Coupe, BRZ, would look like. We weren't even sure of its specifications. Now, the Japanese auto maker has released a production car, and it's more spectacular than any Subaru sports car we could have imagined. 

Coming next year to Heuberger Motors, Inc in Colorado Springs, CO, the two door Subie contains a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine under its aluminum hood. The all-new flat-4, known within the auto maker as "FA engine", can deliver nearly 150 pound-feet of torque at 2,800 rpm. 

The rpm rises to 4,800, and again at 6,300 before 200-horsepower peaks at 7,000 rpm. The car is estimated to return 30 miles to the gallon. That puts it well above other Japanese coupes. 

Premium and Limited are the two trim levels available from Subaru, and according to Inside Line critics, "both get a fairly extensive list of features." 

"There's a standard navigation system, Bluetooth, satellite radio, HID headlights and a limited slip on all Premium models, while the Limited adds leather seats with Alcantara trim, auto climate control, seat heaters, push-button start and the all-important fog lights."¹ 

Expect base price to be near $25,000 for BRZ in May, 2012.
