Subaru continues to maintain its presence in the lightweight sports coupe market through its BRZ model, developed in collaboration with Toyota. The BRZ utilizes a 2.4-liter boxer engine and features specialized variants such as the STI-tuned tS model, which includes upgraded suspension and braking components.

Following market data from the first half of 2026 showing Subaru slightly outpacing Toyota’s GR86 in sales, the company has teased upcoming limited-edition versions of the 2027 BRZ and WRX. These enthusiast-focused models, which appear to be based on existing tS trims with potential aerodynamic enhancements like carbon-fiber wings, are scheduled for full reveal at Boxerfest in York, Pennsylvania.
