<\/p>\nBetter late than never, the second-generation BRZ has finally landed in Italy. To celebrate the long overdue sports car, Subaru Italy is introducing a Touge special edition with several goodies. Named after the Japanese word for a mountain pass, the performance coupe is capped at 60 units and costs a steep \u20ac49,500 or $52,200 at current exchange rates. That’s a lot of dough considering the BRZ starts at $28,595 in the United States.<\/p>\n
Sold strictly with a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, the 2024 Subaru BRZ Touge gets 18-inch OZ Racing Ultraleggera Race Gold wheels with special Touge logos and wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 215\/40 tires. These striking wheels only weigh 8.7 kilograms (19 pounds) each and can be alternatively replaced with regular 18-inch wheels that have a Dark Gray finish, in which case the tires are a Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905 set.<\/p>\n

The special variant also gets a minor STI kit with front and rear spoilers and side skirts to complement the Blue Pearl body. At the back, the dual exhaust tips belong to an Italian-made Supersprint setup with special finishers featuring “Subaru BRZ Touge” lettering and the Japanese spelling of mountain pass.<\/p>\n
At the heart of the BRZ Touge is the same naturally aspirated 2.4-liter gasoline engine producing 231 horsepower (172 kilowatts) and 184 pound-feet (250 Newton-meters) of torque. In the US, the boxer engine is good for a slightly lower 228 hp (170 kW) and the same 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) torque.<\/p>\n
