First Look at the Exceptional 2024 Subaru BRZ tS
July 10 2023,
The freshly unveiled 2024 Subaru BRZ tS, Subaru’s newest performance-focused offering, created quite a buzz at its global premiere on July 23 at Subiefest California. The STI-tuned suspension and a Brembo braking system push this trim to the top, delivering the most advanced performance and handling capabilities seen in a BRZ to date. Additionally, this top-tier model, which marks the return of the BRZ tS in 2024, will soon be available to Subaru aficionados across the nation early in the upcoming year.
Performance and Handling
Reaping the benefits of the STI-tuned Hitachi dampers in the front and rear, the BRZ tS skillfully maximizes its lightweight design and ultra-low center of gravity, ensuring nimble handling and superior control. This agility is further boosted by the high-performance Brembo braking system, which, complete with gold-painted 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers, alongside larger pads and rotors, enhances stopping power and fade resistance for a more responsive pedal feel and even better track performance.
Riding on 18-inch wheels fitted with 215/40 R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, the BRZ tS delivers an impressive grip and responsiveness, allowing for smoother turns and maneuverability.
Innovation in Safety
In a historic move, Subaru incorporates the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology in a manual transmission model for the first time. This acclaimed safety feature, now standard in all 2024 Subaru BRZ models equipped with a manual transmission, includes elements like Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking System, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.
Distinct Design
The 2024 BRZ tS exhibits striking styling that speaks to its performance potential. The car's aerodynamics is accentuated by large air intakes and a low grille on the front, fender arches, and dual exhausts on the rear. The "ducktail" rear spoiler and the slim greenhouse inject a sense of dynamism into the design. The tS badging on the front grille and rear decklid sets this model apart, while the Crystal Black Silica finish on the exterior foldable mirrors and roof-mounted shark fin antenna adds a touch of elegance. The dark grey finish on the standard 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels complements the available color options for the 2024 BRZ models.
Performance-Focused Interior
The interior of the BRZ tS exudes sophistication, with black upholstery and unique blue stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, front seat bolsters, shifter boot, and parking brake boot. A blue leather accent down the middle of the standard performance-designed front seats adds a distinctive touch. BRIN NAUB nubuck-like material lines the instrument panel visor and door trim. The 7-inch digital instrument cluster and red starter button proudly sport the iconic STI logo, coupled with tS-exclusive red accents.
Robust Powertrain and Added Features
Under the hood, the new BRZ tS features a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated 228-hp SUBARU BOXER engine, working in harmony with a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission. The car is stacked with features like LED steering-responsive headlights, Keyless Access with Push-Button Start, and Vehicle Stability Control with Track Mode, among others. Also included are heated exterior power mirrors, a 2-channel amplifier audio system with additional speakers, and STARLINK Safety and Security features.
The 2024 Subaru BRZ tS is more than just a car—it is a testament to Subaru's commitment to combine performance, safety, and style in a seamless driving experience.
