Several articles lately about the Japan-only Subaru BRZ Cup Car. A stripped down Subaru with a factory-installed roll cage, and el-cheapo steel wheels. The kind of ‘all go and no show‘ car that enthusiasts wished the Subaru WRX TR was..
This is meat to be a track-car, so there’s little to no consideration for comfort. Sound deadening insulation has been removed, as have the side-curtain airbags which would interfere with the roll cage. But the factory ships these vehicles with eye bolts for a six-point racing harness and an external oil cooler.
The car isn’t exactly road-legal, as drivers would need to wear a helmet just to go get groceries, thanks to that roll cage. But on the upside, for $28,890. this vehicle sells in Japan for less than the cost of a base model BRZ.
