2022 Subaru BRZ gets worked over by STI

The 2022 Subaru BRZ has had the STI treatment, with a host of performance and styling add-ons shown off at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Subaru has fitted the BRZ with ‘STI Performance’ parts – which is a line of aftermarket accessories from the carmaker’s performance arm.

While the company hasn’t released exact details on the parts fitted to the BRZ, we can see a lip added to the front spoiler, a large rear wing, STI alloy wheels in bronze on Michelin tyres, STI exhaust, strut braces, boot garnish, gear knob, and STI badging.

The brand’s signature cherry red (pink) features throughout, contrasting against the Subaru World Rally blue.

The Japanese carmaker has also yet to make any announcements regarding a proper hi-po BRZ STI, but the signs are promising – the new-generation WRX uses a turbocharged version of the BRZ’s 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, making it an easier engineering task.

For the time being, buyers will have to make do with 173kW and 250Nm from the naturally-aspirated boxer engine.

The 2022 Subaru BRZ starts from $38,990 before on-road costs, but the company’s local arm has announced its first allocation has already sold out.
