2024 Subaru BRZ tS Gets All The STI Upgrades Except A Turbo

• STI-tuned suspension
• High-performance Brembo brakes
• Bespoke interior and exterior styling elements
• EyeSight driver-assist technology on a manual for the first time

When Subaru teased a more hardcore version of theBRZlast week, we seriously hoped the automaker would deliver, and with the 2024 Subaru BRZ tS, it has. This is the closest you'll get to an STI version of the BRZ, with upgraded suspension, better brakes, and unique styling elements. The only thing missing is a turbo.

Standing for "tuned by STI," the tS badge isn't just an ornament seen on the front grille and rear decklid. While not as perfect as theSTI-tuned BRZ in Japan, Subaru equipped the US-spec BRZ tS with a Brembo brake kit with gold calipers behind 18-inch dark gray rims, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

Beyond braking, the BRZ tS also has STI-tuned suspension partnered with Hitachi dampers - a stark contrast to its twin, theToyota GR86, which offers Sachs dampers with itssporty Performance Pack.

The BRZ's large air intake up front, the streamlined shape, and the "ducktail" trunk spoiler complete the appearance on the outside. The mirror caps and the shark's fin antenna have a Crystal Black Silica finish. While the model you see here is painted traditional Subie blue, the BRZ tS is available for all the sports coupe's color options for the 2024 model year.

Based on the Limited trim, the BRZ tS comes with tS exclusive blue stitching to distinguish it from the standard models, along with an STi badge on the driver's digital display.
