Subaru BRZ Kiiro: A Bright Summer Arrival in New Zealand
Get ready for a sunny surprise! Subaru of New Zealand is bringing a limited-edition BRZ Kiiro to the market, and it's a real head-turner. This manual-only coupe, available in a vibrant Sunrise Yellow, is a special addition to the lineup, offering a unique driving experience.
Limited Edition, Limited Run
Only 10 of these BRZ Kiiro models will be imported, making it a rare find for enthusiasts. The car is based on the Subaru BRZ tS, but with a twist: it's all about the color. The 'tS' specification is a STI-tuned version, featuring 18-inch STI wheels, a strut brace, STI gearlever/start button, drilled disc rotors, and a mesh grille. It's a standard setup, but the yellow exterior sets it apart.
The Yellow Story
The 'Kiiro' name is a playful reference to the Japanese kanji script for the color yellow. This vibrant hue is a departure from the WR Blue of previous limited-edition models. The yellow exterior is complemented by yellow highlights inside the car, creating a cohesive and eye-catching design.
Limited-Edition Extras
To celebrate the exclusivity, each BRZ Kiiro comes with a numbered presentation key box (1-10) and an engraved key ring, similar to the BRZ tS Tsubasa special edition and other exclusive Subaru models. These additions make each car feel like a one-of-a-kind experience.
Global Variations
Interestingly, this yellow BRZ Kiiro is not unique worldwide. In the US, for instance, it's known as the Sport Yellow Edition. Subaru's ability to create limited-edition models with specific flourishes has become a signature, generating buzz and excitement among car enthusiasts.
