Subaru BRZ named ‘Car of the Year’ by Vehicle Dynamics International

The Subaru BRZ has been named by Vehicle Dynamics International magazine as ‘Car of the Year’.  The Awards’ judging panel – comprised of vehicle dynamicists, automotive engineers and technical journalists – also recognised the role of the BRZ’s development leader,
Toshio Masuda, by naming him ‘Dynamicist of the Year’.

Subaru shares these two Awards with the BRZ’s near-identical sister, the Toyota GT86, and its Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada.

Jury panel member Peter Cambridge, a respected performance car dynamicist, welcomed the Subaru BRZ and GT86 as 'the new generation of affordable rear-wheel-drive coupes'.

“For some time now we’ve been beating the drum for simplicity. Cars that take a less-is-more approach and offer fun at legal speeds have been thin on the ground,” commented Graham Heeps, Editor of Vehicle Dynamics International.
