Subaru Releases Special Limited Edition BRZ Series.Purple

Guys, if you are a Subarist, then this one’s for you. Subaru of America has just announced the new ‘BRZ Series.Purple’ (that’s not a typo) with a striking new color, bespoke exterior and interior accents, and performance upgrades. The special edition, limited to only 500 cars, made its public debut on October 19 at Subiefest Texas in Dallas.

The Series.Purple, the sixth special color edition for BRZ, is immediately recognizable by its Galaxy Purple Pearl exterior. The new color is complemented by standard 18-inch alloy wheels in a new satin silver finish and black badging on the rear decklid. 

Inside, the cabin is wrapped in black upholstery with exclusive gray stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, door panels, shifter boot, and parking brake boot. The facelifted BRZ gets performance-design front seats with Ultrasuede surfaces and gray stitching, an iconic Subaru Tecnica International logo on the red starter button and aluminum shifter knob, and the BRZ Series.Purple also employs a standard STI short throw shifter and Flexible V-Bar for improved performance.

Priced at $35,445, the limited edition BRZ is powered by the brand’s signature 2.4-liter 228-horsepower boxer engine paired with a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission. All specs come with EyeSight, limited-slip differential, LED headlights with automatic height adjustment, Vehicle Stability Control with Track Mode and Sport Mode, and dual-zone automatic climate control.  

Based on the Limited trim, the Subaru BRZ Series.Purple also includes Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires, upgraded audio system that includes a 2-channel amplifier, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and STARLINK Safety. 

The latest generation BRZ has bold styling that is as impressive as its handling prowess. The overall impression is modern, agile, and powerful, with focused and functional aerodynamic details. The tidy coupe design cuts through the air with a low and wide frontal area set off by large functional air intakes and a low grille capped by proud fender arches that allow just enough room for suspension points. 

At the rear of the car, the large rear fenders and wide track flow into dual exhausts for a low and wide stance. This visual heft is lightened by a narrow greenhouse and rear hatch that flows into a dramatic upturned “ducktail” rear spoiler.

CARLIST THOUGHTS

Hang on. I think when Subaru says that this BRZ has performance upgrades, they are referring to the car getting an STI short-throw shifter and Flexible V-Bar because the car did not get any extra horses. That stayed fixed at 228hp. Otherwise, it will be interesting to see how long those 500 limited edition models last at $35K.
