Subaru's Bringing Back the Flat-Six, and It's Twin-Turbo This Time
"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."
— Revvly Take
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.
