QUICK SPIN 29
The suspension system is special as well . The detailoriented engineers at STI have fine-tuned the front Hitachi dampers to take what was already a great handling sports car and ratchet things up a level or three . The tS rides on Michelin ® Pilot Sport 4 tires , size 215 / 40 , mounted on 18-inch dark grey aluminum alloy wheels .
Without a doubt , the level of dynamic handling is impressive . The combination of the revised suspension components and ultra-grippy tires make the car extremely quick to turn in to corners . So quick , in fact , your brain and hands need to adjust the speed with which you turn the steering wheel . You need to be prepared for immediate changes in direction , something you don ’ t often find , even in other highly touted sports cars .
From an appearance perspective , the new BRZ tS is identified by special badging in the front grille and on the rear deck , and black foldable side mirrors and roof-mounted shark fin antenna . This time around , the tS is available in all the standard BRZ colours , as well as a bespoke Sapphire Blue hue .
Inside , the passenger cabin features a black interior treatment with contrasting blue stitching on the front seat bolsters , and black leather-wrapped steering wheel , shifter boot and parking brake boot . The digital instrument cluster includes exclusive red accents and the red starter button bears the iconic STI wordmark .
Based on the Sport-tech trim , the tS also includes heated power side mirrors , an upgraded audio system with a two-channel amplifier and two additional speakers . For the first time , the award-winning Subaru EyeSight ® system is standard equipment on all BRZ models fitted with the manual transmission , including the tS . The latest-generation system includes Adaptive Cruise Control , Pre-Collision Braking System , Lane Departure and Sway Warning , and Lead Vehicle Start Alert .
The original Subaru BRZ was an incredible success story and a sports car that purists point to time and again as being an all-time favourite . The second-generation BRZ has taken this same winning formula and created what is , without a doubt , an even better sports car . Now , with the release of the 2024 Subaru BRZ tS , there ’ s even more reason to celebrate .
Subaru Canada has also recently become a sponsor of the Vancouver Sun Run , held annually every April .

In 2024 , Subaru Canada proudly celebrated 25 years of supporting the Subaru Running Series , one of the premier amateur athletic series in the country . Based in Ontario , this series comprises seven races , with the calendar kicking off in February and running right through to November — rain , snow or shine .
This longstanding sponsorship encourages runners of all ages and skill levels to participate in a fun and competitive environment . It also promotes an active and healthy lifestyle , an objective that ’ s particularly important in this day and age .

This year , the Sun Run again welcomed thousands of runners and even more enthusiastic supporters to the streets of Vancouver .
