Subaru BRZ V8 is 1 piece of yellow Japanese madness

How it sounds, 367 hp @ 10.680 touring in the ears? Connoisseurs know than in addition to have enough for what concerns the origin of this V8..

The Japanese Jun – well known from this fugazi Veyron ‘0104’ that they’re not made – is a well established name in the tuningscene. What is called, the (figuratively) big men. Their BRZ project is one finger-licking good: under the hood resides a 2.4 Synergy V8, which actually consists of two to 1,200 cc Kawasaki-blocks, coupled together at the crankshaft. This means: a short stroke, lots of revs, and some concessions on koppelgebied, although there is still 271Nm @ 8,000 rpm.

In the engine block do eight high-quality connecting rods with forged pistons in their work, linked to a flat-plane crankshaft with counterweights. Yep, this folds out there harder than Afroman. The yellow BRZ revt to 11.600 rpm and rolling on 18″ rims with sticky Advan A050 tyres.

For a very extensive fotorepo of the thing, please refer to Speedhunters, a (dyno)video you can find on autojunk. For a Japanese, this is more exciting than in pieces of chopped octopus in a woman to see it disappear.

Thanks to everyone for the tips!
