Bananas, sunrises, Subarus. What do they all have in common? The color yellow, of course.

More specifically, Subaru announced at Boxerfest 2025 on September 14 that it will offer a limited-edition “Series.Yellow” version of the WRX tS and BRZ tS for the 2026 model year. In total, just 350 examples of each will be produced.


In addition to the Sunrise Yellow exterior paint (a shade Subaru says has been previously used on the Japanese-only BRZ STI Sport and WRX STI S207), each Series.Yellow model gets yellow contrast interior stitching and accents throughout the interior and matte black wheels.

Mechanically, both limited-edition models are based on their respective tS models, which means 271 horsepower for the Yellow.Series WRX and 228 horsepower for the Yellow.Series BRZ.

Likewise, both are only available with a six-speed manual, and both are equipped with all the factory go-fast goodies only found on the tS models, like the specially-tuned suspension (electronically controlled adjustable dampers for the WRX, Hitachi dampers for the BRZ) and uprated Brembo brakes.

While the starting price of the 2026 Subaru WRX Series.Yellow and 2026 Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow won't be announced until a time closer to when they go on sale, we expect the MSRP to be a little more than the starting prices of the “standard” WRX tS and BRZ tS: $47,705 and $38,360, respectively.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Oh yeah. I'll never be sad about bright colors on cars.

(As I forlornly look out the window at my silver car.)

Not a big yellow car kind of guy.  

As my Preacher used to say; if this doesn't light your fire, your wood's wet.

I'm a sucker for bright yellow sports cars. The video shows a nice bold yellow, bit the pics look a bit too pastel.

Nice!  Yellow is good!

BTW, are not all WRX and BRZ cars limited edition?  (I have reached market saturation for most market hype terms.)

Nope. For the BRZ, it's a Ts model with a special color.

I'm not a fan of yellow, but I applaud adding any color that isn't just white black red beige.

I do hear that, too. More blues again, perhaps, auto industry?
