Subaru Launches Japan-Only BRZ STI Sport Type RA, Limited to 300

Overview

• Allocation runs via a dealer lottery this month, with 200 wingless cars at ¥4,972,000 and 100 with a dry carbon rear spoiler at ¥5,478,000.
• The 2.4‑litre FA24 keeps its 174 kW and 250 Nm yet gains ‘balanced boxer’ treatment with tighter tolerances and reduced rotating mass.
• A lighter flywheel (−67%) and clutch cover (−50%), plus stricter piston, rod and crank balance specs, target smoother, more responsive rotation.
• The six-speed adds automatic rev-matched downshifts and flat-foot upshifts, and the car remains rear-wheel drive only.
• Handling hardware includes ZF dampers, flexible bracing and a new sway bar, gold Brembo brakes, a Torsen LSD and 18-inch BBS wheels, with WR Blue Pearl or Crystal White Pearl paint.
