The Subaru BRZ STI Sport has been revealed today at the Tokyo Motor Show with Australia yet to receive a version of the car… soon.

JAPANESE BUYERS can now get their hands on the Subaru BRZ STI Sport but Australian punters will have to wait until a version of the vehicle arrives Down Under. While Australia is keeping quiet on what the local version of the BRZ STI Sport will be like, it has said that it will contain “elements” of the Tokyo show car.

Jointly developed by Subaru and Subaru Tecnica International (STI), the BRZ STI Sport features key changes to the suspension, including “flexible V-braces and flexible draw stiffener front suspension, developed with original STI technology. Exclusive 18-inch aluminum wheels and 18-inch high-performance tires are adopted. The use of SACHS dampers and coil springs, specially tuned by STI, improves steering response and suppresses roll, achieving flexible but highly stable driving performance”.

The interior has also been tweaked although the engine has been left alone with the JDM variant offering 152kW and 212Nm of torque with manual transmission and 147kW and 205Nm of torque with an automatic.
