Top 10 Cars of the 2011 LA Auto Show

2. Subaru BRZ STI Concept

We’ve seen the FT-86 Concept before and the FT-86 II Concept. We’ve even seen the Scion FR-S Concept. But at the LA Auto Show, for the first time ever, we were given a glimpse as to what the production Subaru BRZ will look like – the third model to be generated from the Toyota-Subaru rear-drive sports car partnership.

Billed as the BRZ STI Concept, it’s a more high-performance look than the production car will get, with a massive rear spoiler, Brembo brakes, larger 18-inch wheels and, to top it all off, a carbon fiber roof. The car has already been billed as having the lowest center of gravity of any production car and this light-weight addition takes that a step further.

If seeing yet-another BRZ/FR-S/FT-86 concept is driving you mad with anticipation, you won’t have to wait much longer (we promise), with the production versions set to debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in just a few weeks.
