The engine

Boxer (FA24)

2.4L NA H4 (Boxer)

A free-revving horizontally opposed flat-four that spins to a 7,500-rpm redline and sits low in the chassis, giving the BRZ its famously low center of gravity and eager, balanced character.

The FA24 is the naturally aspirated evolution of Subaru's FA boxer family, replacing the earlier 2.0L FA20; Subaru has built horizontally opposed 'Boxer' engines continuously since the 1966 Subaru 1000, making the layout a core part of the brand's identity.
