The BRZ STI differs from a regular model thanks to its aerodynamic kit that includes a front splitter and fender garnish, both serving to manage airflow and minimise front lift. Other parts that come with the kit include side under spoilers, a rear diffuser as well as a carbon-fibre rear spoiler.
The company says the kit enhances the
BRZ’s aerodynamics for greater high-speed stability, allowing for sharper, more
agile directional changes. As for the interior, it’s mainly aesthetic improvements,
as you’ll find leather accents such as a red-striped steering wheel and
matching door cards.
Mechanically, it’s the same FA24D 2.4
litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine providing 237 PS and 250
Nm of torque. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic or
manual, the latter allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of 6.3 seconds (versus the
AT’s 6.9 seconds) and a top speed of 226 km/h (versus the AT’s 216 km/h).
