Subaru BRZ Joins its Toyota Sibling at the Tokyo Motor Show



Danny de Vito and shape builder-turned actor-turned Florida governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, were probably the only twin babies that were absolutely different to one another. However, that was a humor movie in which creative independence allows the companies to do anything they please.

In the actual, human being twin babies may indeed range, mostly in personality – though not as much as Arnie and Danny by any reach of the thoughts. In the car community, however, when two companies together produce a car, 99.9% of the moments it stops up being similar to its sister.

Even Subaru and Toyota are not acting that their BRZ and 86/GT86 are anything but the same car. They clearly acknowledge it in their click announcements and even inscribe it on the powerplant take care of. It’s logo technological innovation, genuine and easy.

Therefore, all the hoopla about the incredibly low middle of severity, the sleek and stylish proportions, the fun to generate RWD arrangement et al is recurrent in the BRZ which also created its initial these days at the 42nd version of the Tokyo Motor Show.

In reality, the only recognizable distinction, apart from the badging, is in the top side structures style. The BRZ looks a bit more controlled and less “Tokyo Drift”, but that is just our take and you can choose on your own which is the better looking of the two.

And oh, Subaru is being more genuine than its associate phoning the BRZ a 2+2 and not “the globe's most sleek and stylish four-seater athletics car”.

Everything else is the same: the 2.0-liter four-cylinder fighter, the six-speed guide or automatic signals, the top side sway and back increase wishbone revocation, the tiny rim – terrible, even the inside is similar.

Nevertheless, if Toyota and Subaru provide what they guarantee, the BRZ/86 should be a very interesting car – which we certainly trust so.

In Subaru's situation, you know what would be even more entertaining? The BRZ STi idea found in LA, total with carbonfiber top, front side spliter and back side and a more competitive shape kit. As is recommended with Subaru Tecnica Worldwide designs, a little bit more pizazz from the fighter powerplant examine harm either…

Video: Ferrari California Takes up Snow Drifting in St. Moritz



Ferrari is the last brand one would associate with anything related to driving in the snow, yet Maranello is constantly touting how fun its cars are in sub-zero temperatures and frosty conditions.

Following the recent presentation of the all-wheel drive FF shooting brake in the Italian Dolomites and the announcement of its “Pilota on Ice” U.S. driving program in Aspen, Colorado, Ferrari has released a video of the rear-wheel drive only California dancing on the snow during an event organized in St Moritz, Switzerland.

For those of you that insist on watching/driving a Ferrari on the track, we've also added a video from a recent event at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi with Formula1Test Driver Marc Gené demonstrating the California's goods.

Video: Motor Trend pits Ferrari 458 Italia against Ducati 1198S



We’re not saying we’re psychic or anything, but after years of bringing you the best – and the worst – from the automotive industry, we’re getting a bit of a handle on what you, our dedicated readers, are thinking. So here goes: you were thinking that what the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano really needed was a set of fleur-de-lis wheels.


Okay, so maybe we’re a little off. But those pentagram alloys on the original 599 didn’t do it any favors. And these? They take 20 days to build. They’re forged from aluminum and titanium and have a two-tone anthracite and black finish. But the Comte Noir (French for “black count”) edition Fiorano is about more than those fancy wheels.


German tuner Graf Weckerle has also upped the 6-liter V12′s output from 620 horsepower to a whopping 835. No word on exactly how they did that, but we wouldn’t be surprised if they turned to an experienced Ferrari tuner like Edo Competition or Novitec Rosso for assistance. They’ve also mounted a new coil-over suspension and adjustable shocks, and hopefully upgraded the brakes to go with the extra power. Otherwise those pretty flowery wheels won’t do you any good as the apex approaches.
