The twins have been gaining some weight over the years. Factory numbers are:

2014 BRZ Limited - 2776 lbs
2020 BRZ Limited - 2798 lbs
2020 BRZ tS - 2833 lbs
Yes. Our cars were constantly getting more weight almost every second year. We can argue that we can apply weight reduction and go to lighter brakes or forged wheels or whatever, but out of the factory this is what we get currently. Cost is a major reason, but somehow Porsche managed to offer more power and keep the weight down at the same price.
