A snapshot of what's different about the BRZ: updated front end with LED headlights and fog lamps; LED taillights; new wheels; new fender accent, new aluminum rear spoiler, new steering wheel, updated gauge cluster with a color multi-function display, retuned suspension, reworked engine internals and accessories that add 5 horsepower and 5 lb - ft of
torque to the 2.0 - liter flat - four, a new final - drive ratio for manual models (4.3:1 vs. 4.1:1 for 2016), a stiffer body, and
less aggressive stability control that includes a new Track
mode.
No
less than 230 Nm of
torque is still available in four - cylinder
mode — enough power to ensure plenty of acceleration in most driving situations.
Maybe it's the gear ratios, but the RS 3 feels like it lacks the
torque of the TT on the road, and its firm suspension also bounces the car around more on mid-corner bumps — even in Comfort
mode — making you
less confident to drive fast.
The one thing they have in common is epic performance from a monumental 4.0 - litre twin - turbo V8, which for these new performance variants has now been tweaked to deliver no
less than 445kW of power (up from 412kW) and 750Nm of
torque in overboost
mode — up from 700Nm.
As before, the system also changes its
torque split based on the drive
mode, with up to 90 % of
torque flowing rearwards in Sport
mode,
less in Strada (Street) and Corsa (Race)
modes — the latter to prioritise clawing grip for faster lap times in the most hardcore setting.
That's up 30 hp over the old 4.8 - liter V8 turbo and just 1 lb - ft of
torque less than the old car with the Sport Chrono package in «overboost»
mode.
8A / 12A switchable Level 1 charging cable CHAdeMO DC quick charge port Battery warming system MiEV remote system (pre-activated air conditioning, heater and timer battery charging) Approaching Vehicle Audio System (AVAS) for alerting pedestrians Charging Times: 3 22 hours for 8amp 14 hours for 12 amp 7 hours with 240V / 15A Level 2 charging system
Less than 30 minutes to 80 % full with CHAdeMO Level 3 DC Quick Charger Driving
Modes: «D» — allows maximum performance as it generates 100 %
torque in direct response to accelerator input «ECO» — helps maximize energy usage («fuel economy») by slightly reducing overall power output to reduce the rate of battery consumption «B» — increases regenerative brake biasing to augment energy recycling (with 100 % of power production available)
Low
mode is capable of high output
torque and acceleration; High
mode allows the system to operate efficiently at lower engine and motor speeds and with
less power transmitted through the motors and inverter.
The control software enables a snow
mode in the Model S P85D, reducing
torque from accelerator input to make it
less likely the wheels will lose traction.
In Drive
mode, the IS - F transmission performs with great smoothness, and the
torque converter allows for great launch ability for fast standing - start acceleration that will register a zero - to - 60 time in
less than 4.9 seconds.
There are no
less than eight different drive
modes that can be selected on the move, although interestingly there is no low range setting for the eight - speed automatic gearbox, Bentley's engineers claiming that this isn't needed when there is 900Nm of
torque available at 1350rpm.
