Set to raise the appeal of its slick, rear-drive sport coupe, the 2017 Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow will be heading into showrooms sometime next year. Based on a top-line Premium version of the facelifted and revamped 2017 Subaru BRZ, this new Series.Yellow variation on the theme matches a distinctive bright yellow exterior with the enthusiast-focused mechanical tweaks found in the BRZ’s new Performance Package.

Setting off its high-profile paint, the BRZ Series.Yellow features a black finish on its folding outside mirrors, badging and bespoke 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the car has black leather/Alcantara upholstery with yellow stitching. The cabin also sports a yellow embroidered BRZ logo on the front seatbacks and custom black/yellow floor mats with the BRZ logo stitched in silver.

As for hardware enhancements, the Series.Yellow leverages the BRZ’s newly reinforced structure, revamped stability control system and Torsen limited-slip differential with the same higher-rate springs, Sachs shock absorbers and beefier anti-roll bars found in the Performance Package. That upfit also mandates a 6-speed manual transmission, which in turn brings a higher-output version of the BRZ’s 2.0-liter engine 4-cylinder engine rated at 205 horsepower and 156 lb-ft compared to the 200/151 numbers it develops when backed by a 6-speed automatic. Rounding out the mix is a 4.3:1 rear axle ratio to improve the BRZ’s off-the-line accelerative snap.
