- Subaru is launching the 2025 BRZ Series.Purple, a limited-edition with a Galaxy Purple exterior.
- The special BRZ variant features a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter engine and an STI short throw shifter.
- Only 500 units will be made, with each priced from $35,445 and set to hit dealerships next year.
Update 10/23: Following last week’s cryptic teaser, Subaru has now dropped official photos of its new purple-painted BRZ.
The Subaru BRZ lineup is getting a touch of exclusivity for 2025, as the brand has announced a new special edition, dubbed the ‘Series.Purple’. Unveiled during Subiefest Texas on October 19, this limited-run model will be capped at just 500 units.
As the name implies, the showpiece here is the new Galaxy Purple Pearl paint, complemented by black badging for a subtle contrast. The car also stands on unique 18-inch wheels featuring a new satin silver finish.

The upgrades continue inside as there are front sport seats with black Ultrasuede upholstery that contrasts with grey leather bolsters. They’re joined by grey contrast stitching, a red STI start button, and an aluminum shift knob.
Since the special edition is based on the Limited trim, buyers should also find a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch infotainment system. Other highlights include a premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated front seats.
Power is provided by a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 228 hp (170 kW / 231 PS) and 184 lb-ft (249 Nm) of torque. It’s connected exclusively to a six-speed manual with an STI short throw shifter.
Sticking with the performance theme, the special edition comes equipped with a flexible V-bar that resides under the hood and promises to improve performance. Buyers will also find the usual limited-slip differential and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires.
The 2025 Subaru BRZ Series.Purple is set to arrive at U.S. dealerships early next year, with pricing starting at $35,445. That’s a $1,700 premium over the Limited trim, priced at $33,745—which seems reasonable considering the exclusivity of the color and the limited production run.
