Only a select few will be able to get behind the wheel of the new BRZ GT300, but Subaru hopes to create a strong link between the production and the racing versions of its new rear-wheel drive coupe, both of which made their world premiere at this week's Tokyo Motor Show. The impressive looking BRZ racer will compete in the in the GT300 class of the 2012 SUPER GT series in Japan. The GT300 cars are much more regulated than the vehicles in the GT500 class with their output limited to 300-horsepower, which means we may see Subaru opting for a turbocharger to increase the standard model's 2.0-liter boxer engine's output.
Subaru will provide more information about the GT300 at the upcoming 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon, which is mostly about tuned vehicles (think Japan's SEMA). In the meantime, check out the first official video on the racing BRZ along with a second clip from the Tokyo Motor Show floors.
