Rare Breed: 500-Unit Limited Edition Subaru BRZ Series Purple Revealed
The Subaru BRZ Series.Purple Special Edition: A Unique Purple Hue
The Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ are known for their sleek designs and vibrant color schemes, which inspire special editions. The latest addition to the BRZ family is the Series.Purple Special Edition, featuring a brand new shade of purple – Galaxy Purple Pearl. Let’s dive into the unique features of this limited edition model.
A Surprisingly Subtle Purple Hue
When I first laid eyes on the Galaxy Purple Pearl color, I thought it was a bit understated. In person, it’s a complex, nuanced shade that doesn’t reveal itself immediately. On some days, it can appear more blue than purple, while on others, it’s a deep, rich purple. I, for one, prefer brighter, bolder colors, but the subtlety of Galaxy Purple Pearl might be part of its charm for many buyers.
The Limited Edition Package
The Series.Purple BRZ is built on the Limited trim, with several unique features. The 18-inch wheels have been refinished in a satin silver finish, which gives the car a sleeker appearance. The interior boasts black leather-wrapped surfaces with exclusive gray stitching on the steering wheel, Ultrasuede seats, and the STI short throw shifter. This special edition also comes with the popular STI V-Bar, which improves steering responsiveness and reduces noise, vibration, and harshness over uneven roads.
No Auto Transmission, Please
Unlike other BRZ models, the Series.Purple Special Edition only comes with a six-speed manual transmission. This means you’ll have to get your own gear changes, but you’ll also be rewarded with a more engaging driving experience. The MSRP, including shipping, is set at $36,565, which is slightly more than the standard BRZ Limited model.
Make Your Way to Subiefest
The Subaru BRZ Series.Purple Special Edition will make its public debut at Subiefest in Dallas, Texas, this weekend. If you’re a fan of Subaru or just want to catch a glimpse of this unique color, be sure to attend the event.
