Members of the Subaru Club were able to get up close and personal with the latest revamped BRZ, which recently debuted in Qatar.
Mannai Automotive displayed several of the revamped 2017 Subaru BRZs at a Subaru Customer Appreciation Day last month in Doha.
The car has been entirely re-packaged, with a power-packed performance, new aesthetics and greater safety specs.
To coincide with the event, an awards ceremony was held by Subaru Qatar for winners of recent track events and to offer thanks to Subaru owners and club members for their continued support and love of the Japanese brand.
Mannai Automotive general manager for Sales Mahmoud Skhiri presented the Subaru Qatar awards to Rashed al-Naimi, 2017 Qatar National Rally winner.
The top position holders at the Qatar National Sprint Championship are Mohamed al-Naemi, 1st position in 1S class (Round 2 and 3); Saad al-Dosari, 1st Position in 1S class (Round 1); and Khalid al-Mansoori, 1st Position in 4S class.
Also, a special award for outstanding commitment and service to the Subaru Club was given to Abdulaziz al-Hamadi.
To conclude the event, the Mannai team showcased the 2017 Subaru BRZ in front of the hotel in the presence of club members and Subaru owners.
The sports car now has five more horsepower and five more pound-feet of torque, and the first ever full-LED headlamps and rear combination lamps.
At the front, the C-shaped position lamps represent the fresh new demeanour and identity that the BRZ exudes on the road, according to a statement.
The suspension has been fine-tuned to enable the car to respond as the driver intended, while there have been significant improvements to the engine, drivetrain, and aluminium rear spoiler.
The interior features a new 4.2-inch LCD in the gauge cluster and new in-vehicle technology.
Skhiri said, “The event was an excellent opportunity for those who appreciate everything about the Subaru to see what all the fuss is about with the BRZ.
There was incredible interest in the new tech and spec of the vehicle.
It has more horsepower, more safety, greater sporty looks and the ride quality is silky smooth.”
The price of the Subaru BRZ starts from QR94,000. The Mannai Auto Group is offering financing schemes, and three years/100,000km warranty.
