Description[]

"This is the 2021 BRZ GT300 that made headlines at the Super GT Series in Japan. Having competed in the GT300 class for nearly a quarter of century, Subaru finally achieved a stunning series victory in 2021 with this BRZ GT300. As the first Subaru car to win the Super GT title, it is truly one for the record books. Thanks to improved aerodynamics, made possible by a brand-new BRZ body, air resistance can be kept to minimum, which in turn helps to generate downforce."

―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central

Subaru began competing with the original BRZ in the GT300 class of the Super GT series in 2012. In 2016, it was one of the top teams in its class with some incredible performances on track. However. in the fall of 2020, the second-generation BRZ premiered in North America, which meant that a brand-new race machine was developed for the 2021 season.

As with the previous model, the engine was developed by STI^[1] and the body by R&D Sports. The vehicle as a whole was developed as an orthodox evolution of the previous model, carrying over many elements such as the basic structure and EJ20 engine.

The already aerodynamically superior second-generation BRZ were further improved by adding details developed from the previous model. The car's cornering characteristics were also enhanced through an overhaul of the weight distribution that included changing the position of the third damper.

Takuto lguchi and Hideki Yamauchi both continued their roles as the drivers for the new model for the 2021 season. The new BRZ showed incredible potential from the start, taking pole position in 4 of the 8 races for a glorious championship victory. Subaru had been competing in domestic GT racing since the 1997 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, but this was their first such achievement.

Trivia[]

This car is the first GT300 car to be added into the Gr.3 class.
Like on the Ford GT Race Car '18 (and Ferrari 296 GT3 '23, by the way of an optional GT Auto part), the position indicator placed on the car's windshield does not function.
This is the championship-winning car of the Manufacturers Cup in the 2022 Gran Turismo World Series, and the inaugural winner in GT7. This also marks Subaru's second Manufacturers' Cup title, after they had won it in 2020 with the WRX Gr.3.
Its headlights are always functional, even in the daytime.
The version of the car obtained from the 2025 Gran Turismo World Series Round 1 and Round 2 Viewer Campaigns comes with all tuning parts pre-purchased and installed, and is pre-set to Balance of Performance settings. The tyres are also set to Racing: Soft by default.
