Subaru is allegedly plotting a special edition BRZ but don't get your hopes up too high as it won't feature turbocharging.
Our colleagues from Car & Driver have obtained
information about an upcoming Subaru BRZ special edition that will be
revealed later this year. While many are waiting for Subaru to finally
turbocharge the BRZ, it seems the special edition will come only with
cosmetic changes such as a front lip spoiler, STI badging and bespoke
alloy wheels. The kit will also include a rear wing and different side
skirts to complete the exterior look.
Don't expect to find the handling tweaks implemented in the Japan-exclusive BRZ tS
which also comes with a few upgrades in the braking and suspension
departments. For those who can't wait anymore for a factory turbo for
the BRZ, there are many aftermarket specialist willing to apply forced
induction on the 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter boxer engine of the BRZ which in
naturally aspirated form delivers 200 HP (147 kW).
On the outside it is distinguished by STI 17-inch black alloy wheels
and a black look for the side mirrors. It will be available with a
variety of body paint schemes, while the cabin is set to get two-tone
leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats. Above the instrument panel it
will have black Alcantara with contrast tan stitching also found at the
doors' top section and on the sides of the center console.
Other upgrades worth mentioning include the aluminum pedals, STI
engine button, silver accents and a carbon fiber trim on the dashboard.
Subaru also used tan leather for the doors, and black leather with tan
stitching on the gearbox and handbrake levers.
Scheduled to go on sale exclusively in Japan at the end of the year,
the Subaru BRZ Premium Sport Edition will have a starting price of
3,034,500 yen (approximately 31,000 USD / 22,600 EUR / 19,300 GBP).
