Significant changes are coming to the 2024 Subaru BRZ sports coupe. Subaru of America (SOA) just announced a new Subaru tS (tuned by STI) is coming with performance upgrades. It's also getting additional EyeSight safety improvements, and you don't have to buy the automatic transmission to get it.
Those who attended Subiefest on Sunday were the first to see the new 2024 BRZ tS with EyeSight before everyone else saw the newly-upgraded sport coupe. Here is what's coming this fall for driving enthusiasts.

The 2024 Subaru BRZ tS upgrades
The Subaru announcement says, "The BRZ tS comes equipped with STI-tuned front and rear Hitachi dampers to maximize its lightweight, ultra-low center of gravity and precision handling, resulting in greater flexibility and better control and stability."
"A high-performance Brembo braking system, including gold-painted 4-piston front calipers, gold-painted 2-piston rear calipers, and larger pads and rotors, enhances stopping power, fade resistance, and pedal feel. The BRZ tS also has 18-inch wheels mounted with 215/40 R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires for superior grip and quicker turn-in."
BRZ tS is the first manual transmission with EyeSight
As we reported here at Torque News last week, the 2024 BRZ will be the first U.S.-specification model with a 6-speed manual transmission with Subaru's Eyesight driver assistance system with adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking system, lane departure and sway warning, and lead vehicle start alert.

Subaru says all 2024 Subaru BRZ models equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission will include EyeSight as standard equipment.
Outside, the BRZ tS comes with tS badging, Crystal Black Silica finish mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels in a dark gray finish, and will be in all colors for the 2024 BRZ model line.
The new tS trim will come with black upholstery with tS-only contrasting blue stitching on the front seat bolsters, leather-wrapped steering wheel, shifter boot, and parking brake boot. Front seats feature a blue leather accent down the middle.
The STI logo is displayed on the red starter button and customizable 7-inch digital instrument cluster, updated with tS-exclusive red accents.
The 2024 BRZ tS is powered by the 2.4-liter (naturally aspirated) 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque engine paired with a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission.

Subaru says, "With an STI-tuned suspension for razor-sharp cornering, front, and rear Brembo brakes for total control, new 18-inch alloy wheels, and exclusive interior and exterior accents, the BRZ tS will be the ultimate expression of STI-engineered rear-wheel-drive performance."
Scott Speed was the first to drive the new 6-speed manual transmission model with EyeSight driver assist safety technology. We will bring you the Scott Speed video when it's released.
Subaru says the BRZ tS trim level will be available nationwide at Subaru retailers early next year. Pricing will be announced later this year.
