Following its appearance in New Zealand, the special edition BRZ tS Kiiro gets a run in Australia priced from $53,590 BOCs.
The limited-edition Subaru BRZ tS Kiiro has been officially confirmed for Australia after images of the bright-yellow model surfaced over throughout the week.
In a Facebook post, published by a Sydney dealer, the specifics of the BRZ tS Kiiro edition have been revealed, and Subaru Australia has now confirmed details in a new release.
The new special edition follows in the footsteps of New Zealand’s BRZ tS Kiiro edition, and will be priced from $53,590 before on-road costs in manual or automatic form.
The limited-run model features exclusive Sunrise Yellow paint and features the Japanese kanji script for yellow on the bootlid, among its matte-black badging.
Other Kiiro features include matte-black 18-inch alloy wheels, leather and Ultrasuede seat trim with yellow perforations, yellow contrast stitching on the steering wheel and gearshift boot, and an individually-numbered interior Kiiro badge.
The BRZ tS Kiiro will be limited to 95 units in Australia, with 10 units offered in New Zealand as part of a global production run of 350 cars.
Mechanically, the BRZ tS Kiiro matches the regular BRZ tS with STI-tuned suspension, a front strut brace, and Brembo brakes.
The Kiiro edition also shares the black mirrors and black sharkfin antenna from the regular BRZ tS.
Power from the 2.4-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine is the same as other BRZ variants, with 174kW of power at 7000rpm and 250Nm of torque at 3700rpm.
New Zealand customers also get a numbered keybox and engraved keyring, but there’s no word on whether Australian-delivered Kiiros will get the same treatment.
The regular BRZ tS offers a choice of manual or automatic transmission in Australia, with the Kiiro edition for Australia offering a choice of manual or automatic, while NZ tS Kiiro is manual only.
For reference, the Kirro sits $800 upstream of the tS grade upon which it is based.
