The New Subaru BRZ tS is Unveiled in the US

An exciting new limited edition Subaru BRZ variant has been unveiled for the US market. The new BRZ ts was revealed alongside a WRX STI Type RA to double the excitement. The BRZ coupe is already a fun ride, but additional effort has gone into pushing the driver's fun factor into overdrive. Let’s take a closer look at some of the changes that have been made.

What Does the tS Stand For?

The Subaru tS moniker shows that the car has been tuned by STI hence tS. The focus here is purely on increasing the amount of driver fun and handling feedback, with some extra little bonuses thrown in for good measure. Subaru has significantly sharpened up the already accurate steering with some new coil springs and dampers at the front and rear. Under the bonnet, we can find some flexible V-braces to stiffen the chassis. The wheels are lightweight 18" alloys that are shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. Braking is enhanced with the addition of Brembo performance brakes.

The BRZ tS Enhancements:

The BRZ Coupe is an excellent car, but for this release, the BRZ tS needs to stand apart and encourage envy. To this end, we can find an adjustable carbon fibre rear spoiler that is a both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Outside, we can also find cherry blossom red accents surrounding both the front grille and the rear bumper. There are black accents on the door mirrors and antenna. The BRZ tS has STI front fog lights, and plenty of tS badging is present and correct. In the cabin, we find Alcantara and black leather trim with intricate red stitching and a release specific instrument cluster visor. The front seat belts are both red, and there is a frameless interior mirror. The BRZ tS will be available, in the following colours: Blue Pearl, Crystal White Pearl, and Crystal Black Silica.

Availability in Australia:

The US announcement stated that only 500 of both the BRZ tS and the WRX STI Type RA would be produced. The release date is scheduled for sometime before the end of Q1 in 2018 with no concrete date at the moment. Although there is currently no release date for these cars in Australia, Subaru has stated that they will be sold here.
