Ever since the Subaru BRZ first launched alongside the Toyota GT86/Scion FR-S (remember Scion?!), fans have been asking for an STI version. Unfortunately for those fans, the 2024 Subaru BRZ tS isn’t quite the STI version they were hoping for, even if “tS” stands for “tuned by STI.” However, forget the name or what it stands for—the BRZ tS is among the most fun you can have on four wheels for less than six figures.
Despite its claims of being tuned by STI, the Subaru BRZ tS does not have a turbocharger like fans wanted. In fact, it doesn’t even have any extra power to speak of. Instead, the BRZ tS gets upgraded Hitachi dampers (I didn’t know they made suspension, either), upgraded Brembo brakes, and some mildly tweaked visuals.
