So the clickbaits are going to make claims right to the bitter end are they.


We will know in a week.

IF that is true..Subaru really have just trolled the absolute shit out of us. Especially with that BRZ photo with the STi carbon wing. Probably just clickbait BS..

They don't know what they are talking about . Btw., the RA stands for "Race Altered" and not "Record Atempt".

I sold my pink springs for stock shocks a long time ago maybe you can find them used, or Japanparts, or walk into Mitaka Subaru the next time you are in Tokyo.

Yah lol I was hoping I could get official parts here stateside and it will be covered by warranty, funny how these things work ; /

Can't Subaru be releasing a special edition of both the BRZ and STI for 2019?

Hmmm....

Well, let's look at the teaser pic. Does that look like a WRX or BRZ? The tail light's red. Mine's clear, so...

But it was confirmed. They didn't say who confirmed it but such minor details as to who actually said what really don't come into play much in the modern reporting world.


"Initially thought to be an STI-enhanced BRZ, Subaru has confirmed to Motor1 that the vehicle will instead be a special version of the WRX STI."


They even have details so it must be true


"It will wear Subaru’s Type RA designation, which originally stood for "Record Attempt," and feature numerous upgrades such as a carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber rear wing, Bilstein dampers, Recaro seats, and 19-inch BBS wheels finished in the signature gold hue used during Subaru’s rally days."

Tails on both '17 BRZ and STI are red, so....

I never said they'd both be unveiled at WBM. I just said one should consider the possibility of both cars coming out in '19.
