Aesthetic tweaks are said to include side skirts and a rear wing, possibly with a front lip spoiler, special wheels and STI badges, unnamed sources have told Car and Driver.
Power-hungry enthusiasts may be disappointed yet again, as there is still no talk of a turbocharger or other powertrain upgrades. The car is also not expected to offer the Brembo brakes and suspension components of the Japanese-market BRZ tS.
Subaru late last year introduced a BRZ luxury GT package, which is also limited to the company’s home market. The BRZ Premium Sports edition focuses on interior improvements, with extensive use of leather and carbon fiber, while the exterior is differentiated by STI-badged wheels. It is unclear if any of these features will make their way onto the US-bound special edition.
The new special-edition BRZ is expected to be introduced within a few months.
