From the subaru.com "future vehicles" website: (https://www.subaru.com/vehicles/futu...-concepts.html)
The new 2024 Subaru BRZ tS is just around the corner. The new 2024 Subaru BRZ tS is coming and it’s taking the precision handling of the BRZ to thrilling new heights. With an STI-tuned suspension for razor-sharp cornering, front and rear BremboŽ brakes for total control, new 18-inch alloy wheels, and exclusive interior and exterior accents, the BRZ tS will be the ultimate expression of STI-engineered rear-wheel-drive performance. In other words: this is basically the same as the GR86 performance pack and a couple of interior/exterior accents. No mention if this is a "limited edition" or not.

All I see for exterior is red tS badging and red BRZ lettering in headlights.
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/wPQ6-oLa6D8 Wonder what interior changes are. I wish they have blue accents inside to go with a blue car. With the red accents outside, I doubt it though. I am guessing they are sticking with red. Screen grabs from vid by @revcircle |

Looking at the attached pictures, the "tS" badging looks terrible. It reminds me of the old Scion tC badging. This almost looks like the same font. Overall I find most badging pretty silly, but Subaru seems to take poor badging and making it an art form. |

So if they're swapping back to steel knuckles does that mean its the same brake kit as the last gen? I heard the only reason the last gen brembo's didn't fit was because of the slightly larger aluminum knuckle.
That makes this a pricier upgrade than I was hoping for. EDIT: Just read the part about new wheels. I really hope the current 18" ones have clearance, otherwise it'll probably be cheaper to go with AP/Essex. |

Wonder if Subaru even has their BRZ engineering team still intact or already disbanded/redeployed. Putting the brembos and last gen knuckles is soooo zero-effort.
Anyway, coverage from Motortrend. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2024...ry-first-look/ |

So... all the claims of steel knuckles seem to be unconfirmed with a single redditor listed as the source...
But multiple sources are claiming the dampers are custom speced from Hitachi, not Sachs, so perhaps not just the GR86 performance pack.

Looking at the pictures in the Motor trend article, they do appear to be not aluminum.
