So, here below is the list of updates to the BRZ:
- Revised 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER engine with new cylinder heads, valves, camshaft, aluminum intake manifold and redesigned exhaust manifolds.
- Engine output in models with 6-speed manual transmission is increased to 205-hp and 156 lb.-ft. of torque.

- Additional chassis reinforcements increase BRZ’s rigidity; revised springs and dampers and a larger rear stabilizer bar improve responsiveness, stability and ride comfort.
