Subaru Reveals BRZ Ts And WRX STI Type RA Limited Editions

Image
Subaru USA has finally released details about the latest editions of the BRZ and the WRX STI. Subaru will offer just 500 units of each model, with both of them expected to reach Subaru dealerships in early 2018. The new Subaru WRX STI Type RA offers a purer driving experience through the classic recipe of shedding weight and upgrading the chassis and the engine. The new limited version of the WRX STI comes with a carbon-fiber roof panel, a carbon-fiber wing and a set of lightweight BBS 19-inch forged alloys. Subaru has also removed the spare tire. The chassis has been upgraded with inverted front struts and Bilstein dampers all around, with the VDC also tuned to the needs of the new Type RA.

If that car is any indication of what to expect, the model could come with exterior styling tweaks, a retuned suspension, and a modified interior with plenty of STI badging. However, the chances of a meaningful power upgrade are slim to none. The BRZ tS will be introduced tomorrow alongside the WRX STI Type RA. That particular car will have a carbon fiber roof and 19-inch BBS wheels with a gold finish. Fans can also look forward to an upgraded interior with Recaro seats and possi...
