How close is Subaru getting to a real BRZ STI?
Back in September we told you about Subaru’s Special Edition BRZ sports coupe was hitting the market, but it was no BRZ STI. The
BRZ sports car was initially offered via the online network, but Subaru has begun deliveries to dealers this week. The Special Edition 2015 BRZ is immediately distinguished by its GT stripes and black STI wheels.
The Special Edition 2015
Subaru BRZ will get upgrades over the standard sports coupe and will feature exterior upgrades like GT stripes, 17-inch STI alloy wheels, STI boot lip spoiler, STI front, side and rear side under spoilers and Rear under diffuser. Unlike the U.S. Series, which only comes in WR Blue, the BRZ Special Edition is available in every colour.
This special edition model will also feature a few Subaru Tecnica International (STI) mods on the inside. This new 2015 BRZ will get an STI push button start switch, STI short shift assembly and STI shift knob. Subaru says the special edition 2015 BRZ will give the multi award-winning BRZ “even greater on-road presence.” Unlike the 2015 BRZ Series.Blue that is only sold with a 6-speed manual gearbox in the U.S., this new model will be sold in both manual and automatic variants.
Subaru has launched this Special Edition BRZ that comes with multiple additions to the equipment list to set it apart from the standard models. But even though it gets a few STI stamps, it will still feature the 2.0-litre boxer engine with 200 horsepower.
