Thirty Years Later, Subaru’s Forgotten Flat-Six Is Back And It’s Boosted

Subaru's Bringing Back the Flat-Six, and It's Twin-Turbo This Time

The 2026 BRZ GT300 gets a 3.0L twin-turbo boxer engine, ditching the EJ20 for an EG33-based block that hasn't seen production in three decades. Subaru's finally admitting that naturally aspirated 228 hp wasn't cutting it anymore—and the motorsport connection suggests this isn't just marketing theater.

Subaru's playing the long game here. They killed the flat-six in road cars, now they're bringing it back hotter just to remind everyone why it mattered in the first place.

Subaru Is Taking the SVX's Flat-Six Engine Super GT Racing in 2026

Subaru's Bringing Back the EG33 for Super GT—Thirty Years Late Is Still Somehow Cool

The flat-six that powered the SVX is getting a second life as a race engine in 2026, proving Subaru's willing to dig through its own history when it matters. The EG33 hasn't seen competition since 1996, but someone in Subaru's motorsport division apparently decided that heritage boxer engineering still has something to say on a racing circuit.

It's a smart move—Super GT relevance keeps the cult alive, and it signals that Subaru still understands what made the 90s interesting, even if their road cars mostly don't anymore.
