A special edition with an exclusive character. While some Sports Cars draw attention thanks to their driving experience, others do it thanks to their design. This limited-production Subaru coupe combines both, thanks to a unique Sunrise Yellow finish and performance accessories carried over from the tS driving experience trim.
The Ewing Subaru of Plano team has all the details on this special edition vs. the standard BRZ lineup. From its alluring nature to its ability to transform from a weekend sports car to an everyday drive in a capable coupe, we think you’ll find this vehicle is worth a second look!
Beneath the hood, this version boasts a naturally aspirated 2.4L SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine that makes 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This horizontally opposed engine design helps keep the center of gravity low, providing that perfect, well-balanced feel that makes the BRZ so much fun to throw into corners.
The power is delivered to the rear wheels by a six-speed close-ratio manual gearbox which, apart from the control it gives the driver over shifting, makes the driving experience more active. To improve acceleration and cornering, a TORSEN limited-slip rear differential is fitted.
Performance equipment from the tS continues with the coupe, notably the STI-tuned suspension with Hitachi dampers and Brembo high-performance brakes. These aid in providing balanced handling and sure-footed braking response even when the driver is pushing the car into a corner. Its mechanical hardware truly means more than special paint.
Sunrise Yellow is the only available exterior color for this model. When fitted on the (clad in shining black), the resulting look is striking. The performance-oriented 4-wheel drive role is completed with the 18-in Matte Black Alloy wheels and black exterior badging.
It’s no secret that we love Ultrasuede here at the beach, and this cabin takes the theme to another level, but doesn’t detract from the cabin’s driver-focused design. The Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed upholstery is accented with yellow stitching to coordinate with the exterior, while details like the STI short-throw shifter and leather-wrapped aluminum shift knob continue to show off this model’s performance enthusiast credentials.
Subaru will produce only 350 units of the USJM; as a result, this special edition should be a pretty rare sight on this side of the pond.
The coupe is a classic sports-car shape coupled with a wealth of modern tech. The 8-inch STARLINK multimedia system offers support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which enable access to compatible navigation, calls, messages, and audio apps.
The digital instrument display shows key driving information, and standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology helps you with Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Braking. These offers are in addition to not taking away from the rear-wheel-drive personality and manual-transmission character of the car.
The BRZ Limited provides the option of a manual or automatic transmission and is the most affordable version of the line-up. The tS provides STI-tuned suspension and Brembo brakes. The yellow edition adds yellow paint, matte black wheels, yellow interior stitching, and more STI detailing.
If you are a buyer looking for performance gear in the tS nameplate and a paint job that is a little more unique with a limited-edition status, then this model should definitely be on your list.

How many Subaru BRZ Series. Yellow models be produced?
Subaru will manufacture just 350 of these special-edition models for the U.S. As a result, this one-off, special color, and the various interior accents and tS parts that come with the vehicle set this car apart from the standard model. To secure one of these limited-edition models, drivers should speak with the experts at Ewing Subaru of Plano to learn more about availability and current ordering updates.
Is there an automatic transmission in this special edition?
No. It features only a six-speed close-ratio manual gearbox. This gives drivers absolute control over gear selection while also reinforcing the coupe’s sporty, enthusiast-oriented DNA. With a naturally aspirated BOXER engine driving the rear wheels, the BRZ delivers the conventional sports-car driving experience. If you shop from home and would like an automatic, you should check out the BRZ Limited, which has a six-speed automatic transmission available.
What is it about the yellow edition that sets it apart from a regular BRZ in yellow?
Its variations extend beyond the Sunrise Yellow exclusive paint. It has gloss-black 18-inch alloy wheels, black badging outside, yellow stitching in the cabin, and STI-specific interior elements. It is also based on the tS performance package that features STI-tuned suspension and Brembo brakes, among other items. The result of all these changes is a limited-run coupe with its own visual and equipment identity.
Can you drive this performance coupe on the street?
Yes. Despite all the sport-focused kit, the car is still fundamentally a production sports coupe that’s suitable for normal road use. It’s also quite small, can be fitted with a sophisticated multimedia system, has a range of driver assistance technology, and front seats that are comfortable enough for everyday use – though you’ll notice the firm performance suspension, rear-wheel-drive chassis, and traditional gear change. A test drive should answer questions here.
How does it stop and how does it ride?
Equipped with Brembo high-performance brakes and STI-tuned suspension with Hitachi dampers, carried over from the BRZ tS. The Brembo brakes deliver serious and steady braking performance, and the STI suspension helps keep the coupe stable while driving through corners. When combined with the rear-wheel-drive layout and a TORSEN limited-slip differential, the ability of the vehicle to stick to the road is one of many reasons enthusiasts gravitate to this model.
