Subaru introduces a limited-production BRZ tS (tuned by STI) for 2018 that gives this sports car its most agile handling capability ever. This performance variant is limited to 500 units.

The Subaru BRZ delivers a purist sports car driving experience while also offering comfort and practicality for everyday driving. Subaru last year gave the BRZ sports car a comprehensive performance, design and equipment upgrade, and the 2018 BRZ tS moves the needle further for track handling performance. This model also features exclusive aerodynamic design enhancements and interior appointments.

The 2018 Subaru BRZ displays classic GT coupe proportions with a long, low hoodline and a roofline that sweeps rearward over the rear quarters. The shape is practical, yielding 2+2 seating.

The Subaru BRZ FA-Series engine uses "square" architecture, meaning that its bore and stroke dimensions are identical, in this case 3.38 inches. This geometry gives the BRZ engine a quick-revving nature, with a 7,400 rpm redline. The engine delivers 205 hp at 7,000 rpm, while the 156 lb-ft of torque peak arrives at 6,400 rpm. (Output remains 200 hp and 151 lb-ft with automatic transmission).

The BRZ offers the choice between a 6-speed manual and, optional for the Limited, a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 6-speed manual features a short-throw shift lever, and triple-cone synchronizers on first through third gears help ensure durability. The 6-speed automatic offers no-compromise fast-shifting performance.

A Torsen limited-slip differential helps the inside wheel maintain traction during cornering. For track driving, the standard Vehicle Stability Control and traction control system offer four driver-selectable settings, including a new Track mode and a TCS Off switch for track driving activities. The double-wishbone rear suspension system provides outstanding bump absorption to enhance tire grip over varied surfaces.
