Killing Machine: 1973 VW Beetle with a Subaru WRX STI 2.0-liter Turbo Engine


If you believe that even with its run-of-the-mill 44bhp 1.3-liter air-cooled engine, the 1970's Volkswagen Beetle is a tough car to handle on the road, then you can only imagine what it would be like to try and control a Bug fitted with the zappy 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer engine from a Subaru Impreza WRX STi…

To make matters worse, the German dealer who listed the converted Beetle STi on a Romanian car sales website called 'Webcar' doesn’t mention anything about suspension upgrades.

Subaru treated the Legacy sedan and its high-ridding Outback sibling to a mild refresh for the 2013 model year and brought both cars to the New York Auto Show for their public debut.

The two models sport more or less the same changes that include the presentation of a more efficient version of Subaru's 2.5-liter boxer engine with a double-overhead-cam (DOHC) rated at 173hp and 174 lb.-ft. of torque, up 3hp and 4 lb.-ft. from the previous 2.5-liter SOHC engine.

2013 Subaru BRZ Completes 0-60mph in 7.3s, Quarter Mile in 15.3s in Edmund's Test


Something tells us that in the States, the 2013 Subaru BRZ will most likely carry a similar MSRP to its sister model, the 2013 Scion FR-S, at around $25,000, but until the Japanese automaker announces official pricing, we have a new video to share with you.

The crew over at Edmund's Insideline took the North American specification BRZ to the race track to see what kind of numbers it could put down.

Like the Scion FR-S and the Toyota 86, the BRZ is motivated by a 2.0-liter flat-four fitted with a direct fuel injection system yielding 200-horsepower and 151 lbs.-ft. of torque. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a standard six-speed manual gearbox or an optional automatic transmission with the same number of gears.

Following its debut launches in Japan and Europe, the new Subaru XV is now heading to the North American market where it will go on sale this fall as the 2013 XV Crosstrek after its regional premiere at next month's New York International Auto Show.

If you haven't figured it out already, the XV Crosstrek is heavily based on the latest Impreza hatchback featuring notable changes to the chassis and body.

The compact model's exterior has been beefed up with black side- and wheel-arch cladding, rocker spoiler and roof rails, along with unique designs for the front and rear bumpers as well as the standard 17-inch wheels shod in 225/55 R17 all-season tires. The dark tint privacy glass is also standard.

EPA Releases Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S Fuel Economy Numbers


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has beat both Subaru and Scion in releasing the official fuel-economy ratings for the new BRZ and FR-S sports coupes.

Being that the Subaru BRZ and the Scion FR-S are in essence identical twins, the fuel efficiency and greenhouse emission numbers are the same for both models.

According to the EPA, when the rear-wheel drive coupes' 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is matched to the standard 6-speed manual gearbox, they return 22mpg city, 30mpg highway and 25mpg combined.

Get in Line: Subaru will Reportedly Bring Only 6,000 BRZ Coupes to the U.S. in 2012


If for some reason you prefer looking at Subaru's Pleiades star cluster-inspired logo on the Toyota 86, you had better act fast, as according to a report from Car and Driver today, the Japanese automaker will ship just 6,000 examples of its BRZ sports coupe to the United States this year.

Subaru declined to comment on the report but the publication says the carmaker had previously revealed that in order to make a business case in the U.S., it had to sell 5,000 to 7,000 cars priced at around $25,000.
